The concept of controlled delivery is not limited to drugs. Similar principles are used to control the delivery of agrochemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, for example, and in many household products. However, most of the technology development in the past 30 years has focused on drug delivery only this aspect of the topic is covered here.

For efficient research it is essential to evaluate continuously and with increasing experience the chances and limitations of new and established technologies. Modern agrochemical research platforms are undergoing continuous and dynamic changes. Adjustments aim towards the integration of the most promising parts of the different approaches. 

We revealed eight regularities concerned within-field variability of agrochemical indices. The regularities would be important for technologies of precision agriculture. In the first place it was found that the soil reaction as well as humus and mobile phosphorus and potassium content more or less corresponded to a normal distribution.
