Research on Artificial Intelligence in Precision Agriculture

Abstract : Research on Artificial Intelligence in Precision Agriculture is revolutionizing farming practices. AI, including machine learning and computer vision, optimizes crop yields, reduces resource inputs, and minimizes environmental impacts. It predicts crop yields by analyzing data on weather, soil, and crop management, aiding decision-making. AI detects diseases and pests early, enabling targeted interventions to mitigate losses. Robotic systems automate labor-intensive tasks like planting and harvesting, increasing operational efficiency. AI also enhances supply chain logistics and market forecasting, improving distribution and pricing strategies. Challenges include data quality, privacy, and access, which need addressing for widespread adoption. The future promises further advancements, integrating AI with sensors, robotics, and data analytics for sustainable agriculture. Overall, AI in precision agriculture offers transformative solutions to enhance productivity, profitability, and environmental stewardship in farming.
