Abstract

Sustainable precision agriculture requires site-specific management procedures. This needs appropriate information combining traditional measured data and mapped conditions, models, and specific interpretation. It is impossible to cover the entire variety of sites in the territory with measuring devices, and therefore the measured data are insufficient for a detailed description of changing conditions on each geographical unit. However, detailed data on the morphology and pedologic conditions are usually available, and their synthesis creates the basis for detailed interpolation of the entire area’s measured data and mapping. This article presents a procedure for the synthesis of morphometric and soil indices resulting in the definition and mapping of morpho-pedotops, the interpretation of their thermal–moisture condition, and, consequently, the comparison of these conditions with the condition on the sites with installed sensor stations. This procedure enables reasonable logic interpolation of the measured microclimatic data by sensor stations to the whole study area. The result is the definition of the thermal–moisture condition of the whole territory in comparison to the measured sites. Therefore, the results provide the basis for interpolation for the forecast of climatic events developed for the sites of sensor stations to the whole study area and the forecast of temporal disease events, and thus the basis for precise site-specific field management interventions, even in the case of the lack of the whole area covering measured data.
