Abstract

Precision agriculture is the concept of management in agricultural production based on observation, measurement and interaction between plants, crops and crops or from the aspect of animal breeding. Benefits are seen in the form of increased yields and / or increased profitability of farmers' production. Other aspects come through better working conditions, increased animal welfare and the potential for improving various aspects of natural resource management. Thus, precise agriculture achieves a broader goal of sustainability of agricultural production. The application of high technology and technology in agriculture is unified and called precision agriculture. Although the concept of precise agriculture, in a way, began to apply even 50 years ago, 1990 is considered an initial one.
