ABSTRACT

A precision farming cycle represents the yield monitoring system. In which yield maps are prepared from the data taken by yield monitor while harvesting of the crop. There are mainly three elements of precision farming, which play a pivotal role for the successful accomplishment of the whole system. These are as follows: Information, Technology and Management. Enabling technologies can make precision agriculture feasible, agronomic principles and decision rules can make it applicable and enhanced production efficiency or other forms of value can make it profitable. Precision farming consists of following technologies which work in an integration with each other: geographic information system (GIS), global positioning system, remote sensing and variable rate application. The geographic references can then be used to locate features, such as a business or forest stand, and events, such as an earthquake, on the Earth’s surface for analysis. A vector based GIS is defined by the vectorial representation of its geographic data.
