Hands-on Precision Agriculture Training for Growers

This investment aims to provide introductory training that will impart technology skills to growers in a ‘hands-on’ manner and will be specific to and driven by issues raised by growers in each region (initial scoping phase). Specific to these issues, it will showcase mobile device integration technologies and low cost, simple PA methods already in use by growers and advisers. Various mapping-based apps that may assist in simplifying the transition to applied decision making utilising spatial information and on the opportunity for VRT integration into farm management systems, will be discussed. It will also identify a selection of cost effective precision agriculture opportunities that growers can consider implementing on farm to respond to key management and resource input decisions that affect profitability.
