GIS Solutions for AgricultureBusiness decisions for the agriculture industry can be derived from the spatial analysis tools embedded in GIS. ESRI's software includes ArcGIS and ArcView 3.x and their associated software extensions—ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst, and ArcView Image Analysis. These extensions provide the farm manager the tools to interpolate data surfaces from point information, calculate the probability of certain agronomic events such as unfavorable climatic events, and incorporate satellite data concerning land use or live weather reports. ArcPad allows you to collect and organize real-time data from field observations and create specific forms that reduce field worker error. |
