Advantages and possibilities of application of precise systems in the agricultural production

Abstract

A special area with the application in agriculture is the correct driving of tractors with the aim of minimizing overlap of passages, i.e. avoiding empty spaces. The use of markers is not possible when working with large heavy-duty machines, and in many cases due to poor additional processing, the marker cannot leave a good enough "record" on the ground. The aim of this research is to describe the development, working principles, application, and advantages of GPS in modern agricultural production, and to assess the cost-effectiveness of the global positioning system. The application of GPS relates to the finding of spatial and temporal data, where, for certain classes of applications, centimetre accuracy is required to determine the position. Different types of data need to be collected for effective management in this area. GPS-based guidance technology can be used in many agronomic operations. This technique can provide complete autonomous navigation.
