Abstract

The article outlines how computer control technology is used in agriculture to monitor and manage environmental conditions for optimal production. It discusses the complexity of agricultural systems, the hardware and software components involved in control systems, and various control strategies. It also mentions commercially available systems, do-it-yourself options, and emerging technologies like real-time expert systems, computer modeling, and robotics. Overall, it suggests that computer-controlled systems are becoming increasingly important in agriculture, offering improved efficiency and resource management.
