Information Technology is playing an ever-increasing role in arable farming. The combination of new sensors, on-board computers, electronically-controlled machinery, standardised interfaces and both privately and publicly available databases will provide the basis for comprehensive information-driven plant production. An essential technical component for this is Precision Farming, an umbrella term for new production and management techniques in crop production. Precision Farming (or Precision Agriculture) is based on the use of location and crop-monitoring data in the decision-making process.
