At the beginning, precision farming was defined as an agricultural production system technique, which takes the natural heterogeneity of agricultural sites into consideration (Ehlert, 1995). Its first main field of application was site-specific fertilisation. Today, precision agriculture is more widely defined and includes techniques such as automatic guidance systems, product traceability and on-farm research (Gebbers and Adamchuk, 2010). This chapter deals with precision farming in the sense of site-specific production and management practices.
