| Precision agriculture, which calls upon the tools of information technology, is a new method of agricultural management that can help the sugar industry in its effort to reduce cost of production and increase productivity. By the techniques of yield mapping within field, inputs and crop production can be controlled to achieve increase in productivity. In order to ealuate the impact of precision agriculture, the Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute (MSIRI) has initiated a project on precision agriculture with yield mapping in the first phase of investigation. In this endeavour, a yield monitor with appropriate software was acquired. Yield maps for several fields were produced. these have clearly shown the amplitude of yield variability within the field. the causes of yield variability are in the phase of identification. | |
