Remote Sensing: Remote sensing involves collecting information about an object or area without physically being in contact with it. In agriculture, remote sensing technologies can provide data on crop health, soil moisture levels, and other important factors from a distance.
Variable Rate Technology (VRT): VRT refers to technology that allows farmers to apply inputs such as fertilizers or pesticides at different rates across a field based on its specific needs. This helps optimize resource utilization while minimizing environmental impacts.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GIS combines spatial data with analytical tools to create detailed maps and visual representations of geographic features. In agriculture, GIS can be used for mapping soil types, yield variability, or planning irrigation systems.
