Precision Farming refers to the precise application of agricultural inputs with respect to soil, weather and crop need in order to improve productivity, Quality and profitability in agriculture.

It is a modern agriculture practive involving the use of technology in agriculture like remote sensing, GPS and Geographical Information System for improving productivity and profitability.
It enables farmers to use crop inputs more efficiently including pesticides, fertilizers, tillage and irrigation water.
More effective utilization of inputs will bring in more crop yield and quality without polluting the environment and will result in sustainable agriculture and sustainable development.
Hence precision farming is about doing the right thing, in the right place, in the right way, at the right time.

Advantages of Precision Farming:

It will enhance agriculture productivity and present soil degradation in cultivable land resulting in sustained agricultural development
It will reduce excessive chemical usage in crop production
Water resources will be utilized efficiently under the precision farming
GPS allows agricultural fields to be surveyed with ease. Moreover, the yield and soil characteristics can also mapped
Dissemination of information about agricultural practices to improve quality, quantity and reduced cost of production in agricultural crops
It will minimize the risk to the environment particularly with respect to the nitrate leaching and ground water contamination by means of the optimization of agro-chemical products
Non-uniform fields can be sub divided into smaller plots based on their unique requirements
It provided opportunities for better resource management and hence reduce wastage of resources
