Agricultural Innovation and Site Specific Farming

Abstract

SummaryOne special frame of technological development in agriculture is precision farming technology. The national and international researches handle a lot with the effects of precision farming technology like a possible method of innovation. At the same time the diffusion of this technology is very slow from the practical appear in 1990. The obstructive factor of adjudge the spread of precision farming technology is that the definition of the farm which apply this is hard. Because of the application of the different technology elements are dependent on plant, soil, weed-coverage and management. The adaptation of the site specific technology like a new innovation in the process demands an extra investment in one hand and in the other hand necessitates precise work from everybody which goes together with change of approach. The aims of this study to examine that in which condition will be viable the adaptation of the precision farming technology and what kind of factors make faster the spread of the technology. The other question is that which element of the technology called innovation and what are the effects of these on the profitability.
