“…Another challenge associated with 'Information Packages' for complex turfgrass sites is the practical challenge of information transfer because map data files are often very large and exceed many email system limits. Recently, Fountas et al (2009) developed an information management system that encompassed storage, processing and presentation of spatial-temporal data for site-specific management related to yield and environmental issues, as well as for the management of research trials on the farm.…”

Spatial and temporal variation of soil, climate, plants and irrigation requirements are challenges for modern agriculture and complex turfgrass sites. Precision agriculture (PA) evolved to improve site-specific management based on obtaining site-specific information. The focus of this concept paper is on the emerging area of precision turfgrass management (PTM) with attention given to: (a) comparing the concepts of PTM and PA in terms of driving forces and challenges that must be addressed for PTM to progress in science and practice and (b) discussion of specific field mapping applications (purposes) for different turfgrass situations such as golf courses, sod production fields and sports fields. The field applications relate to site-specific management of irrigation, salinity, fertilizer application and cultivation. To illustrate the potential for PTM, different approaches that may be necessary for PTM compared to PA are discussed. The initial factor that hindered the adoption of PTM has been the lack of mobile sensor platforms that can determine both key soil and plant properties for turfgrass situations. This paper concentrates on PTM field applications that involve mapping of both soil and plant attributes, in contrast to only optical sensing mapping.

“…Interoperability issues are strictly connected to data standards since a lack of industry-wide data exchange protocols causes difficulties in data exchange, thus limiting farm-level MIS applicability (Allen and Wolfert, 2011; Fountas et al , 2015a; Kruize et al , 2016). Another aspect related to technological features refers to concerns regarding data ownership, privacy and security, representing issues for users and possible adopters (Allen and Wolfert, 2011; Fountas et al , 2009; Kaloxylos et al , 2014; Zheleva et al , 2017).…”

PurposeThis paper reviews the academic contributions that have emerged to date on the broad definition of farm-level management information systems (MISs). The purpose is twofold: (1) to identify the theories used in the literature to study the adoption of digital technologies and (2) to identify the drivers of and barriers to the adoption of such technologies.Design/methodology/approachThe literature review was based on a comprehensive review of contributions published in the 1998–2019 period. The search was both automated and manual, browsing through references of works previously found via high-quality digital libraries.FindingsDiffusion of innovations (DOIs) is the most frequently used theoretical framework in the literature reviewed, though it is often combined with other innovation adoption theories. In addition, farms’ and farmers’ traits, together with technological features, play a key role in explaining the adoption of these technologies.Research limitations/implicationsSo far, research has positioned the determinants of digital technology adoption mainly within the boundaries of the farm.Practical implicationsOn the practical level, the extensive determinants’ review has potential to serve the aim of policymakers and technology industries, to clearly and thoroughly understand adoption dynamics and elaborate specific strategies to deal with them.Originality/valueThis study’s contribution to the existing body of knowledge on the farm-level adoption of digital technologies is twofold: (1) it combines smart farming and existing technologies within the same category of farm-level MIS and (2) it extends the analysis to studies which not only focus directly on adoption but also on software architecture design and development.
