Overview

Precision agriculture is a farming management concept that uses information technology to ensure crops and soil receive the inputs they need, exactly when and where they need them. It leverages data from sensors, GPS, drones, and satellite imagery to create detailed maps of fields, identifying variations in soil type, nutrient levels, and pest infestations. This allows farmers to apply fertilizers, water, and pesticides with pinpoint accuracy, reducing waste, minimizing environmental impact, and maximizing crop yields. Key technologies include variable rate application (VRA), yield monitoring, and farm management software (FMS).
