抽象。草原科学家和农民越来越多地面临着主要在工程科学,特别是精确农业、遥感、地理信息和生物技术领域发展起来的新技术和信息系统。判断这些技术的实施是否在经济和生态方面可能是有益的是具有挑战性的,特别是对那些必须做出农场决策的人来说。新技术仅部分应用于草地,与可耕地相比有所滞后。然而,正如我们将在这里展示的那样,在不同的气候区域和广泛的应用中,成功实施新技术是有余地的。本文介绍了在草地上有应用范围的农业新技术的最重要的最新发展。它定义了相关的术语和过程,提供了成功实施的例子,并讨论了未来的方向和研究需求。
Abstract. Grassland scientists and farmers are increasingly faced with emerging new technologies and information systems that have been primarily developed in engineering sciences, in particular, precision agriculture, remote sensing, geographic information and biotechnology. Judgment upon whether the implementation of any of these technologies may be beneficial in economic and ecological respects is challenging, especially to those who have to make on-farm decisions. New technologies have been applied on grassland only partially and with some delay compared with arable land. However, as we will show here, there is scope for successful implementation of new technologies in various climatic regions and for a wide range of applications. The paper presents the most important recent developments of new technologies in agriculture that have scope for application in grasslands. It defines the relevant terms and processes, provides examples of successful implementation, and discusses future directions and research needs.
