Reluctance towards implementation of precision agriculture (PA) seems to be based on lack of consideration to education, extension, and research sectors. The objective of this study is to identify educational, extensional, and research requirements in application of the PA system. The research population included all the experts in Qazvin province who are familiar with PA concepts and PA’s equipments, such as GPS and GIS. The results showed that offering a practical PA education and preparation of extension programs to introduce PA’s benefits provide more impact in the extensional requirement, among other variables. Findings of this article emphasize, again, on key role of the agricultural extension in efficient implementation of PA.
