'PA in practice III - tips, tricks and case studies for precision agriculture' details comprehensive frameworks for using foundational precision agriculture (PA) techniques such as on-farm experimentation, yield and soil mapping, as well as lessons drawn from the experiences of other growers.

The benefits experienced by early PA adopters are now clearly demonstrable and examples are included in this publication. 'PA in practice III' is written for growers.

The first edition of 'PA in practice - grain growers' experiences of using variable rate and other PA technologies' was published in 2008, the second edition 'PA in practice II - using precision agriculture technologies: a guide to getting the best results' was published in 2012. This is the third edition.

A compilation of ideas and case studies about enhancing PA adoption. Embracing Precision Agriculture is divided into four broad themes:

• The financial pressures PA can help address

• Soil constraints and sensors to aid identification and amendment

• Yield variability and paddock management

• Weed pressure and spraying

Within each theme there are examples of how growers have addressed problems and alleviated challenges, highlighting the many ways PA programs can address different goals on and off-farm, describing concrete examples of effective programs.
