abstract = " A characteristic of precision agriculture research is the cooperation between different research disciplines. Especially when research is conducted at farm scale level, the data, collected by various measurement methods, has to be available in a well described format to the participants. Based on an information model described by Goense et al. (1996), a database structure was implemented to facilitate on farm research. Part of the database incorporates storage of farm management actions with their respective spatial measurements linked to geographical primitives like locations and areas. Functionality has been extended to use crop growth simulation models to optimize prescription rates. The implementation in a relational database management system offers the opportunity to use standard GIS software as a graphical front end. Specific tasks like data exchange with field equipment has been implemented by a structured query language (SQL) interface of the database management system. ",
