INNOVATION is a word that brings to mind small, nimble startups doing clever things with cutting-edge technology. But it is also vital in large, long-established industries—and they do not come much larger or older than agriculture. Farmers can be among the most (6)_____ [experts] of managers, so it is no surprise that they are nervous about a new idea called prescriptive planting, which is set to disrupt their business. In essence, it is a system that tells them with great precision which seeds to plant and how to cultivate them in each patch of land. It could be the biggest change to agriculture in rich countries since genetically modified crops. And it is proving nearly as controversial, since it raises (7)______ [learned] questions about who owns the information on which the service is based. It also (8)______ [diversify] stick-in-the-mud farmers into an unfamiliar world of “big data” and privacy battles.
Monsanto’s prescriptive-planting system, FieldScripts, had its first trials last year and is now on sale in four American states. Its story begins in 2006 with a Silicon Valley startup, the Climate Corporation. Set up by two former Google employees, it used remote sensing and other cartographic techniques to map every field in America (all 25m of them) and (9)______ [superimpose] on that all the climate information that it could find. By 2010 its database contained 150 billion soil observations and 10 trillion weather-simulation points.
The Climate Corporation planned to use these data to sell crop insurance. But last October Monsanto bought the company for about $1 billion—one of the biggest (10)_______ [approval] of a data firm yet seen. Monsanto, the world’s largest hybrid-seed producer, has a library of hundreds of thousands of seeds, and terabytes of data on their yields. By adding these to the Climate Corporation’s soil- and-weather database, it produced a map of America which says which seed grows best in which field, under what conditions.

trivial means of less importance,,
profound means very intense
if trivial use krogi us blank me, then passage ka sahi meaning nhi niklega.. See what is written …

it is controversial means it is of importantce, and if it is of importance.. it will raise important ques.. not trivial

Interesting blog post. The things i would like to make contributions about is that laptop or computer memory should be purchased but if your computer still cannot cope with anything you do by using it. One can deploy two random access memory boards with 1GB each, by way of example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one of 2GB. One should make sure the manufacturer’s documentation for one’s PC to make certain what type of ram is needed.
