COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AS BACKBONE FORPRECISION AGRICULTURE

摘要

Agriculture has many interrelations with other disciplines, social, public, and governmental institutions, etc. These interrelations lead to exchange of information among agriculture and the other sectors on different levels. At the level of data exchange between agricultural and non agricultural institutions global networks such as the Internet are used and data contents are defined by non agricultural suppliers or customers. At farm level special local agricultural networks defined by DIN 9684 andISO 11783 have been developed. Main characteristics of these networks and future extensions are presented.
