通过多次邮件调查、电话访谈以及对农民、顾问、教师和精准农业行业代表的个人访谈，对德国精准农业 (PF) 的采用情况进行了研究。目的是监测 PF 技术多年来如何进入德国市场以及地理位置。农民接受了采访，了解他们使用 PF 技术的经验以及他们对此的态度和障碍。那些尚未使用PF技术的农民被问及原因以及在什么条件下他们可能会开始使用PF技术。尽管2001年至2006年PF用户数量略有增加，但所有调查结果表明PF仍然存在各种障碍。那些已经使用了一些PF技术的农民在开始时遇到了很多问题，但在克服这些问题后，他们普遍对PF技术的引进感到满意。然而，大多数受访农户对引进PF技术犹豫不决，主要是因为该技术成本较高。大部分接受采访的职业技术学校教师表示，PF尚未成为课程的主题。对顾问的采访表明，他们中的大多数不提供 PF 领域的任何咨询服务。最后，对农业工程行业代表的采访结果证实了其他调查的陈述。
The adoption of Precision Farming (PF) in Germany has been studied by several mail surveys, telephone interviews and personal interviews with farmers, advisors, teachers and representatives of the PF industry. The intention was to monitor how PF techniques have entered the German market over the years and geographic location. The farmers were interviewed about their experiences with PF technology and their attitudes and barriers towards it. Those farmers who had not yet used PF technologies were asked for the reason and on which condition they would probably start with PF. Although the number of PF users slightly increased between 2001 and 2006, the results of all the surveys indicate that there are still various barriers regarding PF. Those farmers who had already used some PF technologies struggled with many problems at the beginning, but after overcoming these problems, they were generally content with the introduction of PF technologies. However, the majority of the interviewed farmers hesitated to introduce PF techniques mainly because of the high costs of the technology. Most of the interviewed teachers at vocational and technical schools stated that PF was not yet a subject in courses. The interviews with the advisors show that most of them do not offer any advisory service in the field of PF. Finally, the results of the interviews with representatives of the agricultural engineering industry confirm the statements of the other surveys.
