“…Profitability with and without precision-agriculture in various locations within India is examined in a few studies (Maheswari, Ashok, and Prahadeeswaran 2008;Shitu, Maraddi, and Sserunjogi 2015;Ramamoorthy and Gopu 2016;Kadam et al 2017), among others. These studies generally suggest that the major contributions to the profitability of precision agriculture is reduced costs of plant protection inputs, and higher output revenues.…”

established in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.

“…The basic principles involved in PCA practices include minimum tillage, crop diversification, precision application of nitrogen-based fertilizer to achieve higher nutrient efficiency both from organic and inorganic sources as well as the combination of improved fertility with improved seed for higher productivity 53,54 . Based on a review of the literature from rice-wheat production system of South Asian countries, we compiled and categorized PCAPs which are locationspecific (Table 6) [55][56][57][58][59][60][61] .…”

“…Many empirical studies conducted on PA and PCA in the developing nations, especially in cereal-based production system of south Asia shown that implementation of these practices increases crop yield, farm income and input use efficiency and helps farmers adapt and mitigate the impact of changing climate 30,52,[56][57][58][59][60][61] . However, development of extension strategies and support to farmers in order to facilitate adoption of any technologies cannot be overemphasized.…”

We have learnt time and again that food supply shocks have resulted in food price spikes, instability, violence and even regime collapse. When the supply chain at the primary producers (farmers) level is functioning well, the success will ripple down the whole chain. In this review, we present our approach for the development of an extension model for the promotion of precision conservation agricultural practices (PCAPs) uptake among rice-wheat smallholder farming households, considering the demand as well as the prospect for developing and up-scaling rice-wheat production system in Africa. PCAPs are technologies and practices that are capable of helping farmers to apply right resources at the right place and, at the right time, using the right method. The combination of these technologies and practices can help in achieving optimum resource stewardship and resource conservation in the farmers' field. However, extension strategies and supports are needed to facilitate the adoption of these best practices at the farmers' level.

“…In the recent time, PCAPs is becoming of more important option for CSA in South Asia considering its prospect for sustaining farm profitability at low carbon footprint possible (Jat et al 2009, Pathak et al 2012, Kumar et al 2013Sapkota et al 2014, Aryal et al 2015, Shitu et al 2015, Khatri-Chhetri et al 2017. However, despite the series of completed and ongoing projects for the promotions of PCAPs alongside its prospect and benefit, the adoption of the practices at the farmers' field level has been reportedly low as farmers choose to revert back to their conventional practices after the project support is withdrawn (Shiferaw et al 2009, Kuppannan et al 2015, Khatri-Chhetri et al 2017, Sadiku et al 2017.…”

Development of scale for assessing farmers' attitude towards precision conservation agricultural practices

Attitude is a behavioural construct that cannot be measured by a single variable, hence the need for developing a standardized instrument for its measurement. The present study has been conducted to develop a reliable and valid instrument for exploration of farmers’ attitudinal orientation towards Precision Conservation Agricultural Practices (PCAPs). PCAPs are technologies and practices that are capable of helping farmers to apply right resources at the right place, at the right time, with a right method. The combination of these technologies and practices can help in achieving optimum resource stewardship and resource conservation at the farmers’ field. However, the attitude of farmers’ may influence the uptake of these practices at farmers’ field. A step by step procedure of developing standardized attitude scale was followed using Likert’s summated rating approach. The steps include item collection, relevancy test, item analysis, reliability test as well as validity test. Finally, thirty items were selected for the attitude scale which were found reliable at Spearman Brown coefficient of 0.75 and satisfied content validity. The attitude scale may be useful for researchers and extension functionaries in the field of Precision Conservation Agriculture (PCA) as well as climate smart agriculture (CSA).
