This comprehensive collection presents five peer-reviewed literature reviews on decision support systems (DSS) in agriculture, delving into their applications for farm soil and crop management, pest monitoring and management, greenhouse mechanization, precision agriculture, and participatory approach.
The first chapter provides a comprehensive overview of DSS in agriculture, addressing key questions surrounding their use for farm soil and crop management. It explores various aspects of agricultural DSS design, implementation, and operation, highlighting their significance in enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.
The second chapter assesses the role of DSS in pest monitoring and management through information technology, including remote sensing, GIS, spectral indices, image-based diagnostics, and phenology-based degree day models. It discusses the potential of these technologies in providing real-time information and decision-making support for pest control strategies.
The third chapter explores the potential of implementing DSS within the growing mechanization in greenhouses. It examines differences in development and application of deterministic explanatory and data-based models for real-time control and DSS in greenhouse environments. The chapter also discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with deploying DSS in precision agriculture.
The fourth chapter delves into the key issues associated with deploying DSS in precision agriculture, considering their human and social aspects. It explores how DSS can be tailored to meet the specific needs of farmers and agricultural stakeholders, while also addressing the ethical and social considerations involved in their implementation.
The final chapter outlines the importance of a participatory approach in DSS development, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts between researchers, farmers, and other stakeholders to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of DSS. It provides examples of climate-based DSS for crop and land management, pest and disease management, and livestock (dairy) management.
Overall, this collection offers valuable insights into the current state-of-the-art of DSS in agriculture and provides a roadmap for future research and development in this field. It is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in improving agricultural productivity, sustainability, and resilience.
