| Abstract | ||
| Precision agriculture is an agricultural management strategy that aims to increase productivity and optimize production by collecting, processing and evaluating data. Achieving the highest profit is the main goal of production for the farmer, using accurate data and analysis can provide more yield and subsequently more profit. The main goal of precision agriculture is to achieve sustainable agriculture through reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and as a result reducing environmental pollution. The tools used to collect data in this technique include remote sensing with satellites, the use of drones, sensors, and robotics. Despite many advantages, the application of this type of agriculture has not yet received attention in Iran. Although the infrastructure of using this method in Iran is somewhat available; But the low level of farmers' knowledge and the small farms are two main problems in precision agriculture, so investment in it is slow. Increasing the farmers’ knowledge, merging agricultural lands and encouraging investment in agriculture are three important solutions in the transition from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. In this article, an attempt has been made to pay more attention to the precision agriculture and introducing it as possible to the farmers and users. | ||
