Geospatial applications in precision farming - A case study in West Bengal Conclusions Theme map on application of fertilizer vindicates the environmental stewardship of precision farming in resource poor Indian villages. Theme map also vindicates the potential of productivity gains of precision farming. NormalizeFactor of grid cells is a potential indicator for monitoring sustainability of a precision farming in a given location at a given point of time. Comments Geospatial applications in precision farming via TNTmips include the following steps: importing, georeferencing, spatial data editing, polygon grid sampling, vector extraction, vector to raster conversion, raster mosaicking, surface modeling, raster extraction via regions, extracting raster cell properties, and creating raster expression regions. 
The inputs for study came from Dr Deepak Sarkar of National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, Calcutta and Mr. Bidhan Chandra Roy of Bharat Nursery Private Limited, Calcuuta. The study - for reasons of paucity of funds - is not exhaustive. Yet it vindicates that precision farming if practiced in Indian villages, could make a lot of difference to India’s efforts in achieving sustainable food security - food for every household for a healthy and productive life - via environmental stewardship and productivity gains of precision farming.
