2. Artificial intelligence in Agriculture
Artificial intelligence holds the promise of driving an agricultural revolution at a time when the world must produce more
food using fewer resources.
Precision agriculture uses AI technology to aid in detecting diseases in plants, pests, and poor plant nutrition on farms. AI
sensors can detect and target weeds and then decide which herbicides to apply within the right buffer. Deep learning
algorithms process data captured from drones flying over their fields

3. Use of GPS Technology
in Agriculture
The accuracy of GPS allows farmers to create
farm maps with precise acreage for field areas,
road locations and distances between points of
interest. GPS allows farmers to accurately
navigate to specific locations in the field, year
after year, to collect soil samples or monitor
crop condition.
The satellite-based GPS system
was first developed by the U.S. Departments of
Defense in the 1970s. The major advantages are
Higher crop productivity. Decreased use of
water, fertilizer, and pesticides, which in turn
keeps food prices down. Reduced impact on
natural ecosystems. Less runoff of chemicals
into rivers and groundwater.

5. Precision Farming
Precision farming is an approach where
inputs are utilized in precise amounts to get
increased average yields, compared to
traditional cultivation techniques.
Precision agriculture (PA), satellite farming
or site-specific crop management (SSCM) is a
farming management concept based on
observing, measuring and responding to
inter and intra-field variability in crops.

6. Autonomous Tractor
A driverless or autonomous tractor is a farm vehicle
(often multi-purpose) that delivers a high tractive
effort (or torque) at slow speeds for the purposes of
tillage and other agricultural tasks.

7. IOT in Agriculture
IoT-based smart farming builds a
system where the entire farming
uses IoT devices for various jobs
like Sensing for soil moisture and
nutrients, Controlling water usage
for optimal plant growth,
Determining custom fertilizer
profiles based on soil chemistry.
It is also used for Determining the
optimal time to plant and harvest,
& for Reporting weather
conditions.

8. Applications of Data
Science in Agriculture
Data analytics can be used in the accumulated
bulk to obtain information which can be used
by farmers to optimize their farming. Farmers
can thus make smart farming decisions using
that information throughout the production
cycle; from planning, plantation, harvesting, all
the way to its marketability.

9. Agriculture Robot
Agricultural robots automate
slow, repetitive and dull tasks
for farmers, allowing them to
focus more on improving
overall production yields.
Some of the most common
robots in agriculture are used
for functions like Harvesting
and picking, Weed control
Autonomous mowing, pruning,
seeding, spraying and thinning,
etc.

10. Autonomous robot to
harvests soft fruits
The automatic harvesting of fruits by a robot
involves two big tasks: (a) fruit detection and
localization on trees using computer vision with a
sensor and (b) robotic arm motion to the position
of the detected fruit and fruit harvesting by the
end effector without damaging target fruit and its
tree.

11. Smart Irrigation System
(Soil Moisture)
Soil moisture sensor-
based smart irrigation controll
ers use one of several well-
established technologies to
measure soil moisture content.
When buried in the root zone
of turf, trees or shrubs,
the sensors accurately
determine the moisture level
in the soil and transmit this
reading to the controller. The
entire irrigation is controlled
through this input data.

12. Smart Irrigation System
(Temperature Sensors )
The soil moisture sensor consists of 2 sensors which
takes the values of temperature of surroundings and
moisture level of soil. Output of these sensors are given
to ADC and then to microcontroller. Microcontroller
compares the values with the threshold values and
drives the relay which controls the motor.
In effect this automates the entire irrigation system,
making is more efficient and optimum for yield.

13. Smart Agriculture System
(Electrical Conductivity Sensors )
The use of sensors for the assessment of
the apparent electrical conductivity is being
used extensively.
A Balanced or proper Electrical Conductivity
(EC) is necessary for optimum yield. In general,
higher EC hinders nutrient uptake by increasing
the osmotic pressure of the nutrient solution,
wastes nutrients, and the increases discharged
of nutrients into the environment, resulting in
environmental pollution. Lower EC may
severely affect plant health and yield.

14. Combine Harvester The modern combine harvester,
or simply combine, is a versatile
machine designed to efficiently
harvest a variety of grain crops.
The name derives from its
combining three separate
harvesting operations—
reaping, threshing,
and winnowing—into a single
process.
Among the crops harvested with
a combine harvester
are wheat, oats, rye, barley, cor
n (maize), sorghum, soybeans, fl
ax (linseed), sunflowers and can
ola.

15. Laser Land Leveller
Laser Land Leveling (also known
as Laser Leveling) is a process of
smoothening the land surface
from its average elevation with
a certain degree of desired
slope using a guided laser beam
through out the field.
A laser land leveller- a machine
equipped with a laser guided
drag bucket- is much more
effective and quicker in
ensuring a flat table-top like
surface. An even land means
irrigation water reaches every
part of the field with minimal
waste from run-off or water-
logging.

16. Protected Cultivation Protected cultivation is a
process of growing crops
in a controlled
environment.
This means that the
temperature, humidity,
light and such other
factors can be regulated as
per requirement of the
crop. It assists in a
healthier and a larger
produce, and also in
reducing the resources.
