Development of soil nitrogen mapping system using apparent soil electrical conductivity sensor for paddy field

The emerging technology in agricultural research has changed the scenario for crop management. The precision farming concept is emphasized in parallel with the essential technology used in agriculture. The tools such as variables rate technology (VRT) or variable rate application (VRA) seems like co...
