Today there are many drivers behind why agriculturalists and horticulturalists should be measuring and recording what goes on around them.
With consumers demanding higher quality food and environmental conditions, the need for measurement and monitoring technology will continue to grow. In addition, the need to conserve resources such as soil and water will drive the need to more measurement information technology. For much the same reasons sports land managers including sports and leisure grounds staff have to keep a very close eye on the use of irrigation and nutrients when it comes to managing their environment.
