Abstract
Precision Agriculture (PA) is defined as a management strategy that gathers, processes and analyzes temporal,
spatial and individual data and combines it with other information to support management decisions
that can then be based on estimated variability for improved resource use efficiency, productivity,
quality, profitability and sustainability of agricultural production. This paper describes on-the-go spectroscopic
soil sensing systems that provide quick, cost-effective, and accurate measurements for creating
maps of soil properties. It also shows how these visualized soil maps assist with farmers’ needs and informs
them on what they wish to know about their soil.
