Precision Agriculture Technology

Upon successfully completing the Precision Agriculture Technology program, students will have gained a working knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies in the agricultural arena. They will also have received practical, hands-on experience in an in-situ environment involving the disciplines below.

Recent developments in entomology, plant pathology, and weed science in conjunction with advanced technologies such as remote sensing (RS), global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), and variable rate technology (VRT), have the potential to enhance agricultural profitability significantly. In addition, the implementation of this technology can greatly improve environmental quality by reducing the volume of agricultural chemicals applied.
