Concept of precision farming

• The main concept of precision farming is that reducing health hazards and safety for soil, environment and human health by implication of several technologies and machinery.
• Precision farming depends on the identification, evaluation and management of variability.

Tools of precision agriculture

In order to gather and use information effectively, it is important for anyone considering precision farming to be familiar with the technological tools available.

These tools include hardware, software and recommended practices.
