Abstract

Agriculture provides food and fiber, which are two of humanity's most fundamental requirements. Precision agriculture is a revolutionary method of agricultural management that is revolutionizing how farmers operate. It is built on information technology, which helps farmers collecting data and knowledge in order to make better decisions. In addition, it entails using geographic data to better understand field variability, minimize input consumption, and increase crop output (yield). Over expanding area of land, soil types, moisture content, nutrient availability, and other variables change considerably. Farmers may more accurately decide what inputs to place where and in what quantities by using remote sensing (RS), geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning systems (GPS). With this knowledge, farmers can make better use of costly resources like fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides, as well as water supplies.
