Precision agriculture aims to exercise more control over a production system by recognizing variability and land management areas differently depending on a number of economic and environmental objectives.[1] The main objectives of the Culture Zonal Management system are: optimize production efficiency; optimizing quality of agricultural production; minimizing environmental impact of agriculture; minimize risks. To achieve objectives, precision agriculture uses several monitoring and control systems, of which one can remember: GIS (Geographical Information System) and GPS systems (Global Positioning System)
