Özet

Potato, one of the five most important products grown in the world, has a high application potential in terms of smart agriculture. Smart agriculture makes it possible to produce potato crops in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable way for future generations. Smart farming practices are involved in almost all growing and even marketing processes to increase crop production and quality. Thanks to smart agricultural practices, it has become possible to increase the agricultural productivity of potatoes, to follow the development of certain parameters and to make appropriate decisions. As smart farming develops over the next few years, it will replace traditional farming methods and help narrow the gap between large and small farmers. With the technological progress, it has become possible to control the field situation and make decisions about the crop in real-time environment. Smart-farming may be applied to all processes of potato value-chain production including seeding, irrigation, soil monitoring and nutrients intelligence, harvesting, pest-disease-weed detection, quality, quantity, harvesting, and climate monitoring, forecasting and decision-making applications. These applications are capable to monitor, and define where, when, and how much variability is existent in a field and even take decision autonomously to manage it. In this chapter smart farming concept was emphasized and its difference from precision agriculture was explained. Examples of smart agriculture applications that take place in almost all cultivation and even marketing processes to increase potato production are given under Smart Farming Applications topic. In the last part of the chapter the potential of smart farming technologies for potato production was explored. The covered topics include technologies such Decision Support Systems, IoT (Internet of Things) and Sensors, Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs), Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geospatial Information System (GIS), Artificial Intelligence. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
