Abstract

The establishment of the system Soil – Yield that occured in Latvia during the 1970–80s could be considered as the beginning of precision farming with the available technologies. The first precision farming technologies have been associated with harvesting where combines and tractors with the automatic steering were used. The precision agriculture in Latvia includes various branches. Latvia farmers are using precision crop farming, precision livestock farming, precision fruit growing, precision bee keeping, precision farming greenhouse and precision growing berries. Precision farming technologies in Latvia are introduced mainly in large scale farms, with more than 1000 ha. The most important researches in precision farming in Latvia were done in 2000s.
