Zoning of an Agricultural Field Accounting for the Significances of Parameters Affecting Productivity

Precision farming technology depends on accurate zoning of agricultural fields so that proper management applications can be imposed. Many existing methods for zoning of agricultural fields are based on the use of complex parameters, which includes both topographic yield data and soil characteristics. Utilization of these methods is dependent on relating the assessment of the significance of each of these parameters to the productivity of specific zones found in the field. In this paper, a new method for assessing the significance of the parameters affecting productivity is elaborated in combination with existing method for zoning of agricultural fields.
