Implementation of Precision Farming Technologies in Fodder Crop Management

Original language description

The Czech Republic has a specific land use defined by the highest average holding area in EU (over 130 ha per farm). The national statistical evaluation of agriculture sector (Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic, 2015) shows that farm enterprises with acreage of managed land over 1000 ha cultivate 50.3 % of agricultural land in Czech Republic. Also, there is known large average size of fields - statistical evaluation of the size of land parcels shows that 60 % of arable land is located within the fields with the area over 20 hectares. Higher diversity of the relief and pedoclimatic conditions in combination with the size of land blocks occur in visible heterogeneity of land. This leads to an increased interest in the precision farming practices and technologies for site-specific crop management, where high quality of input geo-information about the land are required. Precision farming or site specific crop management is internationally unified term for directions of land management using new technologies that began to be developed in the eighties and early nineties of the twentieth century. The aim of precision agriculture is an optimization of production inputs (fertilizers, pesticides, fuel, etc.) based on the local crop requirements and plants requirements. Crop management in this way can lead to the effective use of agrochemicals and avoid of environmental risks. Site specific management takes into consideration spatial variability within fields and optimizes the production inputs, thus fulfilling the objectives of sustainable agriculture (Corwin a Plant, 2005).
