摘要

Precision agriculture utilizes advanced technology to transform modern farming processes, resulting in greater sustainability and production. Precision farming technology, which includes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS), has considerably improved agricultural decision-making by improving data-collecting precision and analytical capabilities. These Technologies give geographically referenced data, enabling farmers to analyse field variability, optimize input consumption, and increase efficiency. This chapter evaluates how GIS and GPS technology integrate with remote sensing (RS) systems and Simultaneous Control and Management (SSCM) systems in present-day agricultural systems. The ability of GIS to perform spatial analysis computations helps display land attributes which allows agro-technological decision-making to be more informed. GPS applications in agriculture have transformed site-specific farming through precise position data for varied rate applications in seeding alongside nutrient applications and chemical spraying. Extensive evaluations of site-specific farming began in 1998 and continue to be performed for their ability to boost agricultural output with decreased environmental consequences. The chapter analyses modern farming-specific data structure and data types within agricultural information management systems throughout its examination of system architecture. The combination of GIS and GPS technology allows farmers to reduce traditional agricultural risks, resulting in better crop management practices. Researchers face obstacles when trying to make precision agriculture data accessible and understandable to end-users as such challenges frequently cause both groups to misunderstand each other. This chapter includes a global introduction to GIS and GPS development for precision agriculture along with present applications that show their potential for farm management improvement. The chapter confirms how these technologies serve to transform agriculture through data-based systems that target specific locations while respecting environmental needs.
