| Precision agriculture is a method of production in which an area of land is not uniformly, but site specifically cultivated. Pest-control, crop-protection, soil-treatment and fertilizing are done site-and-place specific and on the basis of detailed records of previous years. This is made possible by **Soil Scanners**,**Remote Sensing** and **Global Positioning Systems**. Land can be treated with centimeter precision. This method can greatly reduce the use of pesticides (25%) and fertilizer. Geo-referenced soil maps are built up over the years. By overlapping these charts the farmer gets a new picture of his lands and with harvest data systems a new picture of his yields. | Precision agriculture is a method of production in which an area of land is not uniformly, but site specifically cultivated.
