• Abstract: The modernization of agriculture has motivated the development of advanced analytics and decision-support systems to improve resource utilization and reduce environmental impacts. Targeted Spraying and Fertilization (TSF) is a critical operation that enables farmers to apply inputs more precisely, optimizing resource use and promoting environmental sustainability. However, accurate TSF is a challenging problem, due to external factors such as crop type, fertilization phase, soil conditions, and weather dynamics. In this paper, we present TerrAI, a Neural Network-based solution for TSF, which considers the spatio-temporal variability across different parcels. Our experimental study over a real-world remote sensing dataset validates the soundness of TerrAI on data-driven agricultural practices.
