precision agriculture

Precision agriculture refers to the precise application of agricultural inputs with respect to soil, weather and crop need in order to improve productivity, quality, and profitability in agriculture.
It is a modern agriculture practice involving the use of technology in agriculture like remote sensing, GPS and Geographical Information System (GIS) for improving productivity and profitability.
It enables farmers to use crop inputs more efficiently including pesticides, fertilizers, tillage and irrigation water.
More effective utilization of inputs will bring in more crop yield and quality without polluting the environment and will result in sustainable agriculture and sustainable development.
Hence precision agriculture is about doing the right thing, in the right place, in the right way, at the right time.
