Using advanced (information) technologies in agriculture is increasing rapidly especially in the developed countries such as USA, Japan, and some members of EU. Advanced technologies in agriculture are mostly based on sensors. Site specific management is a form of agricultural management, which is governed by optimum use of variables. Input such as chemical, water, and seed in agricultural production can be managed by using the technologies. Geographic information systems (GIS), Global Position System (GPS), Remote Sensing, Yield monitor, and Mapping Guide are the main advanced technologies for site specific management. The using advanced technologies in agriculture is important for increasing crop and quality yields as well as protecting the environment.

Agriculture is mainly organized around small farms in Turkey. The average farm scale is about 60da. in Turkey. “Establishing an Infrastructure for using of Advanced Technologies in Agriculture” supported by State Planning Organization (DPT) project has been applied in Konya in order to create large farms dominate production agriculture and to increase quality of wheat. 13 agro-industry enterprises have been collaborating with Selcuk University Technology Development Free Zone (Teknokent) for the project. Newly introduced advanced technologies and related practices allow for collection of large amounts of data from producer’s fields by using yield monitor in Konya. Also, anchor enterprise (Agronet) has been established for the advanced technologies application, development, training, and overseas collaboration. The study was conducted in wheat field grain belt in Konya, Turkey. The field was made up of 20 rows. There were 200 soil samples collected from the field. Sampling positions were at the intersecting points of grid lines spaced 10m. Variables measured were soil organic matter, P, K, Mg, Ca, PH, EC, Fe, Zn, Mn, B, and lime. Soil characteristics have long been known to be heterogeneous across a field. Spatial variability is given an opportunity for improving production efficiency by varying input applications across a field. The field characteristics used to define management zones for Variable Rate Technologies (VRT) decisions may vary across inputs.

This study contributes to the literature by addressing the problems of site specific management in agriculture in development countries. In addition, this study uses to identify strategy for studying and using of advanced technologies in agriculture for site specific management in agriculture in developing countries as Turkey’s experiences.
