It is well known that the productivity of crops depends on their genetic features, environmental conditions, and management. Different inputs are used in an agricultural production system with the aim of producing more from the given piece of land. Such activities, implemented while ignoring the field level variations, lead to wastage of inputs, increase production cost, negatively impact the environment, and exacerbate global concerns (Mandal and Maity 2013). The intrafield variability is significantly too large to ignore because it varies strongly from place to place and from country to country. Thus, precise management of these variations is advantageous to agricultural production systems (Pierce and Nowak 1999). Managing the production capacity of the land within the field is called precision farming. These within-field variations are also influenced by the field size. The field size and land holdings are relatively large in the United States and other developed countries where there is more available land for a given population. In contrast, the field size and land holdings are relatively small in most of the developing countries to quantify the within-field variations (Sahoo et al. 2007).
