Precision Agriculture
• Decision uncertainty in agriculture are caused by spatial and
temporal variability of soil and crop conditions (Dobermann et
al., 2004).
• To improve farm productivity, soil and environmental quality, the
field of precision agriculture has been emerged.
• It is a system approach which attempts to reduce decision
uncertainty through incorporating information about spatial and
temporal variability into the decision making process.
