Precision farming is an agricultural approach that manages variations within a field to improve productivity and resource-use efficiency.
  1. 1.GPS/GNSS.      Determines the precise geographical location of farm equipment and field areas. Used for tractor guidance and field mapping.
2. GIS (Geographic Information System)
Stores, analyses and displays spatial data such as soil fertility, crop distribution and field variability.
3. Remote Sensing
Uses satellite or airborne sensors to monitor crop health, vegetation, drought and crop growth.
4. Agricultural drones (UAVs)
Capture aerial images for crop monitoring, field surveying and targeted spraying where appropriate.
5. Soil and crop sensors
Measure soil moisture, temperature, electrical conductivity and other crop or soil conditions.
6. Variable Rate Technology (VRT)
Adjusts the rate of fertilizer, seed or other inputs according to field requirements.
7. Auto-guidance and steering systems
Guide tractors along accurate paths, reducing overlap and missed areas during field operations.
8. IoT (Internet of Things)
Connects field sensors and devices to monitor conditions and support automated irrigation and other farm operations.
