Classic
PA Papers is the
beginning
of an archive of some of the most prescient PA work. It serves to
remind
us that the scientific literature on agriculture is a priceless
resource, and
that truely new ideas are very rare.
Educational Resources
Researchers at the ACPA have been involved in the teaching and dissemination of information of PA at the postgraduate, graduate and industry levels. In conjunction with the GRDC National Initiative on PA (SIP09) a range of educational resources will be made available for widespread use over the next 2 years
ACPA Publications
Researchers at the ACPA continually
produce papers for refereed
journals,
conference proceedings, the Leading Edge technical supplement and other
popular
industry magazines. A full catalogue of papers is provided here
and copies of individual papers can be obtained by contacting the lead author.
The most recently published
booklet on site-specific
management for cotton production is available for download (~ 4.3 MB)
Articles
Here we provide general articles on
Precision Ariculture.
