Precision agriculture is a new agricultural concept relying on the existence of new variables in the field. Modern technologies are used, such as global positioning (GPS and DGPS), sensors, satellites or aerial images, and information management tools (GIS) to assess and understand some variation of an agricultural crop. The information collected for this type of agriculture can be used to more accurately assess the optimal density of seed, fertilizer use is estimated to culture and more specifically during the harvest. This type of agriculture is trying to avoid the application of inefficient practices to a crop, regardless of soil, climatic conditions, and can help to better assess the phytosanitary status of crops and changes in different stages of vegetation. Crop Circle is an equipment of last generation and can be used successfully in this direction, for this type of agricultural practice.
