Gis Based Agriculture Technology

Because fields are based on location, GIS software becomes an extremely useful tool for the purpose the precision of farming. When using GIS software farmers can trace the current and future trends in temperature, precipitation, crop yields as well as plant health and more. It also permits using GPS-powered programs that are in sync with smart machines to maximize the application of pesticides and fertilizers; since farmers do not have to treat their entire field and only treat specific regions, they are able to reduce the cost of as well as time and effort.

Another major advantage of using GIS for agriculture is the use of drones and satellites in order to gather valuable information about soil conditions, vegetation as well as weather and terrain from a bird’s-eye perspective. These data can significantly increase the accuracy of decision making.
