Some farmers in the UK use a technique called precision farming. This involves using global positioning systems (GPS) and soil analysis to map out which parts of their fields need the most fertilizer. Find out how it works.

Techniques like Global Positioning System (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS) are being used by UK-based farmers so that it helps in site-specific farming called as the precision farming.

GPS-based applications in precision farming are helpful in farm planning, variable rate applications, soil sampling, field mapping, yield mapping, tractor guidance, and in crop scouting. The GPS technology allows the farmers to keep working during field conditions that offer low visibility like rain, fog, dust, and darkness.

Precision farming is made possible by combining the 'Global Positioning System' (GPS) and 'Geographic Information System' (GIS).

EXPLANATION:

The technologies help us to evaluate real time data with accurate position. These technologies are used for farm planning, soil testing, machine guidance, crop scouting, yield mapping etc. It is useful in a very large area of farm where there the investment is high.

The farmers can know the exact location of where the fertilizer is required, where pesticide is required and tractor positioning. It can also work in bad weather condition such as heavy rainfall, fog and darkness.
