Paper Summary

Precision agriculture technologies can be used in lime production to improve crop productivity by applying inputs as needed. These technologies include GPS, sensors for soil and crop monitoring, automation for field operations, and variable rate technology. By analyzing soil properties, leaf nutrients, and tree size, farmers can adjust inputs to optimize growth and productivity in lime groves.
