Justification of the Program Selected: The Agricultural Engineering study program has been

selected due to its relevance in addressing the challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
Agriculture plays a vital role in ensuring food security, economic development, and sustainable
natural resource management. Agricultural engineers possess the technical expertise to develop
innovative solutions that optimize production efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and
enhance the resilience of agricultural systems. By studying agricultural engineering, we can
contribute to the advancement of the agricultural sector, promote sustainable practices, and
address the evolving needs of farmers and agricultural industries.

Central Theme and Research Problem: The central theme of the study is to investigate the
application of precision agriculture techniques for enhancing crop productivity and resource
management. The research problem focuses on developing optimized precision agriculture
systems that integrate technologies such as remote sensing, GIS (Geographic Information
System), sensor-based data collection, and data analytics to improve decision-making processes
in crop management. The study aims to address the challenge of optimizing resource allocation,
reducing input wastage, and maximizing crop yield through the implementation of precision
agriculture practices.

Delimitation and Justification of the Object of Study: The study will focus on a specific crop or
cropping system prevalent in the country of origin, such as rice cultivation or horticultural
production. This delimitation allows for a detailed analysis of the specific challenges and
opportunities related to that particular crop, enabling the development of tailored precision
agriculture techniques. The chosen crop or cropping system will be justified based on its
economic significance, environmental impact, and potential for technological interventions.

Bibliographic Review: A comprehensive bibliographic review will be conducted to examine

existing literature on precision agriculture, remote sensing, GIS, and related agricultural
engineering concepts. This review will encompass scientific articles, conference proceedings,
books, and reports. The aim is to gain a thorough understanding of the current state of
knowledge, identify research gaps, and explore suitable methodologies and technologies for
implementing precision agriculture systems.

Methodological Process: The study will involve a combination of field experiments, data
collection, data analysis, and modeling techniques. Field experiments will be conducted to
collect relevant data on crop growth, soil conditions, and environmental parameters. Remote
sensing data, including satellite imagery and drone-based data, will be integrated with ground-
based measurements to capture spatial variability. Data analysis and modeling techniques, such
as statistical analysis and geospatial analysis, will be used to process and interpret the collected
data and generate recommendations for precision agriculture practices.
