\"P1Agriculture industry also using GIS techniques<\/strong> for increasing yields, managing resources, reduction of input cost and prediction of future outcomes, improve business practices and many more applications. Workflows and agriculture environment can possible to visualize by using GIS and it is important to those who are involved in it. GIS can be useful for examination of farm conditions and monitoring effects of farm management practices such as estimates of crop yield, soil amendment analysis, identification of erosion and remedies for it, farm input cost such as seed, fertilizers, fuels, labor and transportation. Also useful for submission of government program applications in short time span. In the field, scientific analysis of production data through mobile GIS can possible at the farm manager’s office.<\/p>\n

GIS technology is useful for increase production, reduction of cost and effective management of the land. Profitability and success of agriculture depends on balancing inputs and outputs of the farm. Using satellite images and GIS can possible to collect visual evidence, in certain fraud conditions. And due to the actual location mapping, it can provide accurate results. Accurate locational data collection is important in strategic decision making. GIS precisely record and publish agriculture data for operating agriculture and funding schemes.<\/p>\n

RS data provides early warning system, so can possible to improve information on crop conditions. Advance of GIS technology is valuable in management of large quantity of databases, traditional digital maps and data models. Benefits of GIS in many applications and it are very important to decision makers for strategic decision making.<\/p>\n

GIS\u00a0 applications\u00a0 are\u00a0 endless, at the national and local level, Ex, agricultural\u00a0 planners use\u00a0 geospatial data for deciding best zone for certain plant,\u00a0 soil suitability,\u00a0 topography,\u00a0 and\u00a0 Size\u00a0 and\u00a0 location\u00a0 of\u00a0 biologically\u00a0 suitable\u00a0 areas can be determined by using rainfall data. The ultimate output\u00a0 includes transport,\u00a0 infrastructure, labor\u00a0 availability, overlays\u00a0 with\u00a0 land\u00a0 ownership and\u00a0 distance\u00a0 to\u00a0 market\u00a0 centers. GIS is useful in modeling, by using real world data for representing natural behavior and simulating the effect of particular processes.<\/p>\n
