Citation: Kurtener, D., Yakushev, V., Torbert III, H.A., Kruger, E. 2011. Zoning of agricultural field using a fuzzy indicators model. In: Proceedings of the European Conference on Precision Agriculture, July 11-14, 2011, Prague, Czech Republic. CDROM.

Interpretive Summary: Zoning of agricultural fields is an important task for utilization of precision farming technology. One method for deciding how to subdivide a field into a few relatively homogenous zones is using applications of fuzzy sets theory. Data collected from a precision agriculture study in central Texas, USA, was utilized as the test area for studying fuzzy set therory in precision agriculture. Fuzzy set techniques were used to outline zones with different levels of productivity using a fuzzy indicators model. The theoretical considerations are illustrated within this manuscript.
