The term precision farming/ site-specific crop management (SSCM) was highlighted in 1994 March at the second international conference on site-specific management for the agricultural system in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the USA. SSCM involves the development of agricultural management system to improve variable management approaches for soil factors or within field-based onsite. This is also popularized by the name such as spatially prescriptive farming, computer-assisted farming or sat farming, site-specific farming, high-tech sustainable agriculture, soil specific crop management, and the widely used term precision farming Precision farming can be defined broadly as, “an information and technology-based agricultural management system that identifies, analyzes, and manages soil in terms of spatial and temporal variability within a field for maximum profitability, sustainability, and environmental protection”. Precision farming is also referred to, “the precise evaluation of soil and crop management practices to meet the various conditions faced on arable land”.
