German science workshop news critical of precision agriculture performance
A German soil science research center reports that Precision Agriculture has not delivered on promised benefits, stating: ...worse are the actually reported effects of ..."Precision Agriculture" (PA) ...on N efficiency. Still after 15 years of implementation no results proving consistent increases in yields or decreased fertilizer application are available. Quite the contrary: some of the techniques developed in PA may even decrease fertilizer N efficiency...
The Federal Agricultural Research Center (FAL) - Institute of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science's workshop, Options for reducing the nitrogen surplus in plant production, has individual presentation pdf files available, including the one on PA.

The name of the workshop is "Roadmaps to more N efficiency" - "Options.." appears to be simply the title of the press release.
