Precision agriculture is an agronomic approach that aims to optimize inputs into agricultural production to achieve balanced, qualitatively and quantitatively the best possible yields, while minimizing the financial costs and maintain or improve the environment. The basic premise of this approach is the knowledge of soil conditions of land used for agricultural production. This information can be found in agronomic records, soil maps or results of agrochemical testing. Indirect methods of soil heterogeneity mapping based on the principle of sensor measurements and remote sensing are also available. Indirect methods for determining the physical-chemical properties of soil are generally user-friendly, cheaper, faster, and have a higher density of measurement points than the sampling of soils. Comparison of direct and indirect methods showed that indirect methods provide a detailed picture of soil variability. However, interpretation of results is affected by many other factors, which are based in the principle of soil het-erogeneity itself.
