Rana Muhammad Saddique submitted an assignment on the role of innovative agronomic techniques in regenerative agriculture to Dr. Muqarab Ali on November 14th, 2022. The document discusses both the disadvantages and advantages of innovative techniques. The disadvantages include reducing soil fertility over time from excessive chemical use and increased costs. However, the advantages are preventing pollution, conserving resources, increasing food production and worker safety. The document also examines the roles of robotics in agriculture, such as using drones to monitor crops, autonomous seeding and precision pesticide application to increase yields while reducing environmental impacts.

3. ❖ DISADVANTAGES OF INNOVATIVE AGRONOMIC
TECHNIQUES IN AGRICULTURE
▪The excessive use of chemicals by the help of machines reduces the fertility of the land. Lack of
practical knowledge the farmers cant handle the machines properly. While the cost of
maintenance is very high. Overuse of machines may lead to environmental damage.
▪One of the most serious drawbacks of technology in agriculture is that it diminishes soil
fertility. The soil of the fields is harmed and fertility is reduced as a result of excessive use of
technology. Fertilizers and chemicals can boost productivity, but they can deplete soil fertility
over time
▪Modern farming methods have overused the natural resource base.
▪Increased use of fertilizers has led to the loss of soil fertility.
▪The use of groundwater for tube well irrigation has led to water
▪ depletion.
▪Modern farming methods require a great deal of capital

4. ❖ ADVANTAGES OF INNOVATIVE AGRONOMIC
TECHNIQUES IN AGRICULTURE
▪It prevents pollution, Saves energy, Prevents soil erosion, Encourages biodiversity, Animal-
friendly, Reduces costs, Improves food production with less waste, It improves public health
. ▪Agriculture impacts society in many ways, including: supporting livelihoods through food,
habitat, and jobs; providing raw materials for food and other products; and building strong
economies through trade.
▪For improving the production, land reforms are the first and predominant point. Machines,
tractors, and implements do land reforms. These machines have the qualities that make rugged
farming areas smooth to work on the field efficiently. Working on the field is easy, that means
an improvement in productivity is easy.
▪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.
▪Increased worker safety

5. ❖ ROLES OF ROBOTICS IN AGRICULTURE
▪Robots in agriculture include weed control, cloud seeding, planting seeds, harvesting,
environmental monitoring and soil analysis
▪ Farming robots can perform various repetitive jobs like weeding, sowing, fertilizing, and
spraying
▪The robot autonomously navigates to inspect crops and collect data from the agricultural area
through its integrated sensor system. Mobile manipulation through collaborative arms
(harvesting, fruit handling). Collection and conversion of useful information for the farmers.
Selective application
▪ of pesticides. Selection to avoid food waste
▪The robots in the agricultural industry offer
▪ a higher quality of fresh produce, lower
▪ production costs, and a smaller need for manual
▪ labor

6. ❖ ROLES OF ROBOTICS IN AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION
▪Driverless tractors, drones for crop monitoring and data collection, autonomous precision seeding's, automated
irrigation and harvesting systems, as well as milking dairy herds are some of the commonly used agricultural robots
used for farming, crop, and soil management, and livestock production.
▪Agricultural robots applying precision techniques can significantly reduce the amount of pesticides used by
applying pest-detection robotic solutions and eliminating them using precision techniques. The same kind of state-
of-the-art agricultural solutions can now be found in autonomous seeding robots
▪Robots have also played a crucial role in preventing losses as big as $43 billion due to weeds resistant to
herbicides. They are also set to help farmers by preventing some of the $43 billion losses created by herbicide
resistant weeds.
▪Industrial robots help to increase productivity and efficiency on practically every manufacturing line. They are
designed to be able to perform a specific task repeatedly with no breaks. Industrial robots can run at their best 24
hours a day, enabling an amazing increase in productivity
▪The incorporation of robotics in agriculture improves both productivity and working conditions for farmers and
workers. Intelligent systems are becoming the ideal solution to drive precision agriculture. Today, a large number of
agricultural operations are already being done autonomously
