How can farmers best achieve this? Tools such as GPS-based systems and drones are becoming increasingly popular, enhancing accuracy and efficiency.

Additionally, soil testing kits allow for a deeper understanding of nutrient needs, facilitating targeted fertilizer application and minimizing waste.

The combination of these technologies not only cuts costs but also boosts yields, presenting a win-win scenario for both farmers and the environment.
