Abstract
Nowadays, a precise management of agricultural inputs based on spatial variability has become possible due to the availability of new technologies, including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), unmanned aerial vehicles in agriculture (UAVs), high-resolution remote sensing, sensors to measure soil and plant characteristics, and controllers to guide agricultural machinery and apply precise amount of inputs. The benefits of precision agriculture are as follows:•The return on the investment from crop production may be increased by improvements in yield and/or a reduction in inputs;•The risk of environmental pollution from over application of agrochemicals that are associated with traditional agriculture can be reduced;•Greater product quality assurance achieved from precise targeting and recording of field applications that improve traceability.
