La agricultura de precisión es un proceso sistematizado de la actividad agrícola que proporciona elementos tecnológicos como: uso de gps, sistemas de control, sensores, robótica, drones, vehículos autonomos, hardware, telematica y software, lo que les da opciones a los agricultores para implementar procesos en sus cultivos mediante tecnologias, alcanzando competitividad en sus procesos y asi lograr competir con productores mundiales. El libro tiene el proposito de estructurar un componente teorico y un estado del arte del tema de estudio, asi como, posteriormente, socia lizar dos desarrollos tecnologicos; el primero consistio en desarrollar y construir un sistema de riego automatico, basado en la integracion de tres tecnologias, computacion, comunicaciones y electronica. Para ello, se desarrollo un software que envia señales digitales de salida desde una computadora hacia un dispositivo electronico, para accionar los dispositivos fisicos de riego y complementarios. Se integro un subsistema de comunicacion idireccional pc-Modem gsm-Celular, que permite encender/apagar un dispositivo mediante comandos remotos desde un dispositivo movil o celular, como tambien el envio de alarmas y avisos que indican el estado actual del sistema, por medio de mensajes de texto via celular y correos electronicos. El sistema de automatizacion se diseño para que se adapte a diver sas aplicaciones que sean susceptibles de automatizacion y control. El segundo desarrollo consistio en la construccion de una plataforma llamada Wit Farming, aplicacion diseñada para que los pequeños, medianos y grandes agricultores, de forma facil y rapida, puedan llevar el control de sus cultivos y terrenos con la meto dologia de elementos de algoritmos de Machine Learning, siendo una herramienta tecnologica capaz de monitorear el nivel de humedad del terreno, la altura y salud de las plantas etcetera; teniendo en cuenta variables como: el suelo, el cultivo, el clima, las plagas, la fertilizacion, el control de malezas, de insectos y enfermedades. El software fue aplicado y validado con un agricultor de la palma Rubelina, ubicado en Cachipay (Cundinamarca).

El suelo es un componente esencial del medio ambiente y mantener su calidad es crítico para asegurar la sostenibilidad. El empleo de fertilizantes viene incrementándose en unas tasas mayores que la produccion de alimentos. La agricultura depende del fosforo obtenido del fosfato de roca, que es un recurso no renovable. Por tanto, es necesario mejorar la eficiencia en el uso del fosforo en todos los agroecosistemas. Sin embargo, aun son escasos los estudios sobre la interaccion de gramineas y leguminosas en relacion con el fosforo. El objetivo fue estudiar los efectos de la mezcla graminea-leguminosa y la fertilizacion fosforica sobre las propiedades bioquimicas y microbiologicas del suelo. Se establecio un experimento de campo con monocultivos y mezclas de alfalfa y dactilo a diferentes proporciones y bajo dos regimenes de fertilizacion fosforica. La biomasa microbiana total, y la abundancia relativa de hongos saprofitos y actinobacterias fueron los parametros microbiologicos mas afectados por la estacionalidad. La estructura de la comunidad microbiana cambio tambien con los años y estaciones. La respiracion del suelo, la mineralizacion de nitrogeno, y las actividades glucosidasa y fosfatasa fueron mas elevadas en primavera, mientras que la actividad arilsulfatasa lo fue en verano. El tipo de cobertura vegetal afecto a ambos tipos de parametros. La biomasa microbiana total y la abundancia relativa de hongos micorricicos se incremento a medida que lo hacia la proporcion de dactilo, mientras que la de hongos saprofitos, actinobacterias y bacterias Gram positivas y negativas lo hizo con la de la alfalfa. La estructura de la comunidad microbiana, la de los monocultivos de dactilo fue muy diferente a la del resto de tratamientos. La tasa de mineralizacion de nitrogeno del suelo fue mas elevada en los cultivos con predominio de alfalfa. Los suelos con alta fertilizacion fosforica tuvieron consistentemente los menores valores de actividad arilsulfatasa.
