Title: Mod 1 - Topic 2 GPS and GIS
Course: MASTER-AGRI-2279-HB-Erichsen

Precision agriculture is a catch-all term that describes using GIS and GPS technologies to manage specific areas of fields. Precision agriculture technologies use information from multiple sources to assist farmers in making crop production and management decisions based on the variability of production potential within fields.

In this unit we describe the technologies used in production agriculture and we review some of the research associated with the use and future trends of these technologies.

Benefits of precision agriculture technology include: reduced variable costs, increased yields, increased profits, and reduced environmental effects.
