This research aims to present the application of both conventional and modern prediction methods in precision fertilization by integrating agronomic components with the spatial component of interpolation and machine learning. While conventional methods were a cornerstone of soil prediction in the past decades, new challenges to process larger and more complex data have reduced their viability in the present. Their disadvantages of lower prediction accuracy, lack of robustness regarding the properties of input soil sample values and requirements for extensive cost- and time-expensive soil sampling were addressed. Specific conventional (ordinary kriging, inverse distance weighted) and modern machine learning methods (random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks, decision trees) were evaluated according to their popularity in relevant studies indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection over the past decade. As a shift towards increased prediction accuracy and computational efficiency, an overview of state-of-the-art remote sensing methods for improving precise fertilization was completed, with the accent on open-data and global satellite missions. State-of-the-art remote sensing techniques allowed hybrid interpolation to predict the sampled data supported by remote sensing data such as high-resolution multispectral, thermal and radar satellite or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based imagery in the analyzed studies. The representative overview of conventional and modern approaches to precision fertilization was performed based on 121 samples with phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) and potassium oxide (K2O) in a common agricultural parcel in Croatia. It visually and quantitatively confirmed the superior prediction accuracy and retained local heterogeneity of the modern approach. The research concludes that remote sensing data and methods have a significant role in improving fertilization in precision agriculture today and will be increasingly important in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14030778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]],"date-time":"2022-02-07T20:36:42Z","timestamp":1644266202000},"page":"778","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":94,"title":["The Role of Remote Sensing Data and Methods in a Modern Approach to Fertilization in Precision Agriculture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7151-7862","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorijan","family":"Rado\u010daj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Vladimira Preloga 1, 31000 Osijek, Croatia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8105-6983","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mladen","family":"Juri\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Vladimira Preloga 1, 31000 Osijek, Croatia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2345-7882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateo","family":"Ga\u0161parovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geodesy, University of Zagreb, Ka\u010di\u0107eva 26, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1293","DOI":"10.1038\/ncomms2296","article-title":"Recent Patterns of Crop Yield Growth and Stagnation","volume":"3","author":"Ray","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
