Crop care is an important part of agriculture, protecting crops from weather, pests, and nutrient deficiency. Crop care includes fertilization, and pesticide application in a precise manner. Instead of treating all crop fields the same, precision agriculture helps farmers look at smaller sections of their fields, giving them the potential for a better crop yield. There are many different pieces of technology including: GPS (global positioning systems), VRT (variable rate technology), guidance systems, mapping, and yield monitoring. Many global positioning systems are accurate to under one foot accuracy using ag equipment and ag attachments in a much more precise fashion. There is a large variety of equipment that utilizes GPS capabilities, for example: planters, sprayers, seeders, tractors, combines, spreaders, fertilizers and more. Due to precision mapping, crop care has is more precise and targeted to smaller portions of the field, rather than looking at the whole field to be treated the same.
