GIS is widely used in agriculture to analyse land, visualise field data on a map, and in turn make use of that data to make informed decisions. Thanks to remote sensing and GIS technology, organisations can acquire reliable information about both natural and man-made features, in addition to processed and appropriately interpreted events occurring on the earth’s surface.
Precision farming, which is aided by GIS, enables farmers to make smarterchoices and take appropriate action in order to maximise yields per acre while minimising environmental effect. Satellites, aeroplanes, drones, and sensors, to name a few technologies, are used in agricultural geospatial technology. Images can be made and linked to maps and non-visualized data using these tools.
Geospatial techniques are generally used on the surface to map groundwater supplies, drainage patterns, and the provision of variable rate fertiliser, pesticide, and insecticide management. Geospatial technology also provides numerous benefits in terms of improved farming practises, resource management, outcome prediction, and increased yields.
