Evaluate the importance of soil mapping in precision agriculture. Describe the spatial data and its management in GIS for efficient soil mapping, emphasizing the integration of various data sources.
Basically, this is spatial features of soil mantle, which should be adapted to during the precision management, consequently the best spatial characterization of soil properties should be carried out to achieve real benefits. Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) can provide suitable products to support operative precision agriculture.
The products of digital soil mapping could assess the spatial variability of soil properties, promoting the development of precision agriculture within in-field and regional scales. Suitable and reliable spatial predictors can be selected to design accurate predictive models for the soil property of interest.
