This research aim to evaluate the efficiency of variable fertilizer rate in croplands under precision agriculture (PA) in Rio Grande do Sul State with different level of technologies adoption. In the first chapter was evaluated the PF performance in a small farm with 19 ha in which was cropped soybean in 2005/06 and 2006/07 located in central of Rio Grande do Sul State. In this cropland were used the equipments and technology available in this farm. It was determined the spatial variability of soil attributes by grid sampling with 100 x 100 m also the yield map was done by manual sampling of crop and variable fertilizer rates by soil management zones. The PA increased in average 8% the soybean yield.The soil attribute that had better correlation with yield was soil organic matter. The economic analysis show a return of R$ 72,05 ha-1 due inputs save and increase yields. Also, the PA had a 29% increase of fertilizer use efficiency. In the second chapter were evaluated 6 farms totalizing 138 ha of soybean and 96 ha of maize linked to Aquarius Project of PA located in different counties of Alto Jacui, RS. The main activities evaluated were yield map with a Massey Ferguson combine, model MF 34, fertilizer variable rate with centrifuge force distribution Hercules 10.000 from STARA. The average of result shows decrease of 33.1 and 36.8% in fertilizer inputs and increase of 10 and 14% in soybean and maize yields, respectively. The efficiency use of fertilizer was increased in 47.2 and 62.8% allowing a return of R$ 143.34 ha-1 to soybean and R$ 312.44 ha-1 to maize.
