Implications, Benefits, Challenges, and Future Perspective of GIS-Farming Machinery Integration in Precision Agriculture: A Review

Usman M I, Muhammed Isah Muhammed, Shalegh AS, Ali Kole Hassan, and Ibrahim Mohammed Mustapha

Abstract

This review examines the integration of geographic information systems (GIS) with agricultural machinery in the context of precision agriculture. It discusses the implications of this integration and demonstrates how GIS technology improves and enhances data collection, analysis, and decision-making processes in agriculture. The benefits outlined include improved resource management, increased crop yields, and improved sustainability practices. However, the paper also addresses the challenges of integrating GIS and agricultural machinery, such as high costs, technical complexity, and the need for qualified personnel. Finally, it outlines the prospects for the development of this integration. The potential of advances in technology and data analysis to further optimize agricultural practices is highlighted, focusing on the challenges, risks, and functional implications.

Keywords
