Computer mapping in agriculture is rooted

In precision agriculture, GIS software has tools to make it possible to display detailed data on crop production and factors that may affect crop yields as soil fertility, soils, pest control pollution, grass beds and rainfall distribution.

GIS tools also allow to plan the necessary measures to eliminate the factors that may limit or prevent waste agrochemicals use of chemicals that are not necessary.

In short, GIS uses computerized maps to combine, analyze and display critical information and assisted GPS satellite, remote sensing, data collection.

Globally, many companies are based in agriculture take advantage of advanced computer technology mapping using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographical Information System (GIS).

Both systems have become more prominent in agriculture, which contributes to increasing its revenue and reduce costs by identifying relevant activities, such as location and seasonal crops, pesticides and fertilizers to optimize the quantities to give the exact formulation of certain cultures, and - most exciting of all - allows precision agriculture.

Currently, companies in the U.S., Europe and even India is actively using computer mapping technology most critical source of information, such as crop yield prediction.

While these technologies in the local agricultural scene must not be anything new, purpose and extent of their implementation is still questionable.

Many believe there is sufficient space for growth, the fact that the world is running low local orchard.

Use appropriate "mapping" technology, the country can fully maximize the potential of its farmland with specific areas targeted for planting crops such as palm oil, rubber, cocoa and timber.

Idle or even swampy country has the possibility of growing non-traditional money but it takes a Nipah palm and jatropha crops (raw material for biodiesel) and kenaf as a detailed analytical assessment was performed using GPS and GIS.
