“…Spatially variable irrigation also resulted in higher maize yields. However, in some instances, multiple authors [26][27][28] pointed to the fact that such a system might not be profitable for small farmers.…”

The introduction of precision agriculture increased the efficiency of plant production, while simultaneously reducing the production cost. Precision irrigation can be considered as the combination of sensors, computer software and irrigation systems. Precision irrigation has reduced water consumption and increased yields, and thus increased economic profits. The development of new crop monitoring technologies in precision irrigation has been made possible by the imaging and analysis of real-time crop condition data. The aim of this study was to describe the present state and possibilities of precision irrigation in practice in the EU and Croatia. An overview of the current precision irrigation technologies, as well as its adaptive management to the decision-making in agricultural water management, represents a fundamental basis for future practical studies in precision irrigation.

“…For instance, outputs from a DSS may be a site-specific map for herbicide applications in a field or a georeferenced map with the probable location of invasive plants or herbicide-resistant biotypes of specific weed species [27]. Farmers can take advantage of the benefits of site-specific weed management and manage to reduce the cost of herbicide inputs with respect to environmental protections as well as to keep their economic risks at the lowest acceptable levels [41]. The data bases of decision support systems usually consist of a large amount of useful information not only by an agronomic or environmental but also economic aspect [12].…”

Decision support systems (DSS) have the potential to support farmers to make the right decisions in weed management. DSSs can select the appropriate herbicides for a given field and suggest the minimum dose rates for an herbicide application that can result in optimum weed control. Given that the adoption of DSSs may lead to decreased herbicide inputs in crop production, their potential for creating eco-friendly and profitable weed management strategies is obvious and desirable for the re-designing of farming systems on a more sustainable basis. Nevertheless, it is difficult to stimulate farmers to use DSSs as it has been noticed that farmers have different expectations of decision-making tools depending on their farming styles and usual practices. The function of DSSs requires accurate assessments of weeds within a field as input data; however, capturing the data can be problematic. The development of future DSSs should target to enhance weed management tactics which are less reliant on herbicides. DSSs should also provide information regarding weed seedbank dynamics in the soil in order to suggest management options not only within a single period but also in a rotational view. More aspects ought to be taken into account and further research is needed in order to optimize the practical use of DSSs for supporting farmers regarding weed management issues in various crops and under various soil and climatic conditions.

“…Precision Agriculture (or Precision Farming) is the most recent chemical innovation in plant nutrition [37]. It is an entire set of technologies that forms an agricultural system which also includes fertilization and which adapts all elements of agricultural technology to the changing conditions on individual fields under cultivation [38].…”

Abstract:This monograph aims to present how arduously views on plant nutrition shaped over centuries and how the foundation of environmental knowledge concerning these issues was created. This publication also presents current problems and trends in studies concerning plant nutrition, showing their new dimension. This new dimension is determined, on one hand, by the need to feed the world population increasing in geometric progression, and on the other hand by growing environmental problems connected with intensification of agricultural production.
