Drones offer the possibility to fertilize the crops after examination of the individual plants. Color and size can be determined, so that the right amoutn of fertilizer can be applied... At a height of 10 meters, an error of 5 deg results in a 90cm error. This can be the difference between the different rows.” - www.xsens.com/tags/precision-agriculture/

16. John Deere 9RX “The New 9RX comes with integrated AutoTrac™* guidance and JDLink™ Connect information management. With AutoTrac on your integrated 10-inch CommandCenter™** Display, you can begin to increase field efficiencies and reduce inputs by 10%. And with JDLink Connect you can take your operation to the next level of productivity and efficiency without leaving the office. Manage your operation in real-time without being in the cab. Better still, it’s all supported by your John Deere dealer.” - https://www.deere.com/en/tractors/4wd-track-tractors/
