Cartogram is an important tool in precision agriculture. It is a contour geographic map that use varying degrees of color saturation to represent the relative intensity of any soil parameter within each mapped geozone or entire farm. It helps farmers effectively manage their fields, optimize resource use, and increase yields. Cartograms are used to visualize data on various aspects of a field, such as humus content, nutrient availability, pH level, soil moisture, soil density, mechanical composition, yield, crop condition, and more.

Weather monitoring is an important task for agricultural business owners, since weather conditions and the accuracy of their forecasting play a key role in agriculture. Due to climate change, farmers are forced to look for and implement new effective practices in their work. They use innovative technologies such as GPS monitoring of equipment, online control of completed work, satellite images that determine the NDVI index, agro-scouting, data from weather stations, which, if used correctly, make it possible to preserve and increase future harvests.

A digital orthophotomap is a digitally transformed image of the terrain on a specific plot of land, created from overlapping photographs.
