STUDY ON PRECISION AGRICULTURE IN ROMANIA

Abstract

At present, there are very complex agricultural systems in Romania. The complexity of the systems is due to both natural and socio-economic conditions, and the level of development of science and technology that has accompanied the evolution of human society. Literature counts a large number of agricultural systems and their names are rooted in their specific works. The necessity of sustainable agriculture and of a clean environment has appeared because of the threat by the chemisation of agriculture. Implementing sustainable agriculture allows clean natural environments and protects fragile areas. Working methods in agriculture are changing and the need for the latest technologies meant to increase productivity and incomes is higher than never. The most frequently used agricultural systems in the world are conventional agriculture, biological agriculture, organic agriculture, biodynamic agriculture, sustainable agriculture, and precision agriculture – depending on the technologies used, on their intensification levels, on specialisation, on the amount and quality of biomass, on the type of relationship with the environment, etc.
