精准农业具有帮助农民改进投入分配决策的潜力，从而降低生产成本或增加产量，并有可能增加利润。然而，关于农民如何使用PF技术来支持管理决策，或者PF技术在单个农场的收益和成本的相对大小，人们知之甚少。采用嵌入式、多案例研究的方法，从6个农场收集了关于PF的信息。目的是从早期采用者那里收集有关采用和使用PF的信息，以收集对那些考虑采用这种农业系统的人有用的信息。研究结果表明，农户在各种决策类型中都能从绩效指标中获得收益。案例研究表明，农民从信息收集技术(例如产量监测和测绘)中获得的价值似乎比从可变费率应用技术中获得的价值更大。(C)2002 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
Precision farming (PF) has the potential to help farmers improve input allocation decisions, thereby lowering production costs or increasing outputs, and, potentially, increasing profits. However, little is known about how farmers use PF technologies to support managerial decision-making, or about the relative magnitude of benefits and costs of PF technologies on individual farms. An embedded, multiple-case study approach was used to collect information about PF from six farms. The objective was to collect information about adoption and use of PF from early adopters to glean information that would be useful to those considering adoption of-this farming system. Results suggest that farmers credit benefits to PF for a wide variety of decision types. The case study farmers appear to derive more value from information gathering technologies (e.g. yield monitors and mapping) than from variable rate application technologies.
