Abstract: The present invention relates to the planning and implementation of agricultural measures using remote sensing data and local field data. Using remote sensors, the total required amount and partial-area-specific required amounts of plant protection agents and/or nutrients and/or seeds and/or the like can be determined, and based on this information, the use of an application device can be planned. Using local field sensors, the current local required amounts in the field are determined so that the application device can apply the corresponding amounts as required.
