Precision farming is information and technology based agricultural management system to identify, analyze and manage site-soil, spatial and temporal variability within fields for optimum profitability, sustainability and protection of the environment. Precision farming or satellite farming is a farming management concept based on observing and responding to intra-field variations. Today, precision agriculture is about whole farm management with the goal of optimizing returns on inputs while preserving resources. It relies on new technologies like satellite imagery, information technology, and geospatial tools. It is also aided by farmers' ability to locate their precise position in a field using satellite positioning system like the GPS or other GNSS. This article presents outline of progress and present standing of GPS and remote sensing precision agriculture technologies

Abstract


Precision farming is information and technology based agricultural management system to identify, analyze and manage site-soil, spatial and temporal variability within fields for optimum profitability, sustainability and protection of the environment. Precision farming or satellite farming is a farming management concept based on observing and responding to intra-field variations. Today, precision agriculture is about whole farm management with the goal of optimizing returns on inputs while preserving resources. It relies on new technologies like satellite imagery, information technology, and geospatial tools. It is also aided by farmers' ability to locate their precise position in a field using satellite positioning system like the GPS or other GNSS. This article presents outline of progress and present standing of GPS and remote sensing precision agriculture technologies
