Abstract
Despite the engagement of about 70% of Nigerians in the agricultural sector, crop production has not been sufficient enough to fulfilldemand so that import policy is fully implemented. This is due to the utilization of conventional farming techniques that are geared towards giving equal treatment to crop fields. Precision agriculture deals with crop fields according to their specific requirements. This paper presents a review of the concepts, technologies, tools and benefits of precision farming with a view to enlighten agriculturalists into using it to improve the efficiency of crop production and curtail the much effect of pollutants on our climate. Keywords: precision agriculture, GPS, Remote Sensing, crop management
