Precision Agriculture
Precision farming or precision agriculture is
commonly defined as an information and technology
management system for farms to identify, analyze
and manage spatial and temporal variability in
areas for optimal productivity and profitability,
sustainability and protection of land resources
by minimizing production costs. Raising the
environmental awareness of the general public
requires changing farming management practices
for sustainable conservation of natural resources
such as water, air, and soil quality while
remaining economically viable.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
Find the exact position of field information such
as soil type, pests, weed invasion, water holes,
boundaries and obstacles.

Sensor Technologies
This is used to measure humidity, vegetation,
temperature, structure, physical nature,
humidity, nutrient level, vapor, air, etc.

Geographic Information System (GIS)
GIS is a type of computerized map. provide
information on the topography of the terrain,
soil types, surface drainage, underground
drainage, soil tests, irrigation, chemical
application rate, and yield

Grid Soil Sampling And Variable-Rate Fertilizer
Application
This involves splitting the field into several
small and equal parts. For this purpose, the
tractor is equipped with an antenna for receiving
signals from the satellite. Soil samples are
taken mechanically from each subdivision.

Samples Are Tested In A Modern Soil Testing
Laboratory
Samples are tested and recorded in the latest
soil testing laboratories, including physical and
chemical properties of the soil. This helps to
balance the fertility of the field. The
fertilizer is then automatically applied in
various proportions only where necessary, as
indicated by the color grams. This results in
soil fertility and uniformity of maximum economic
yield that could not otherwise be achieved.
