Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm. Be it replicating the extraordinary skills of a human brain to imitating animal behavior, formulating logic, focusing on the best solutions, and storing enormous knowledge databases, nobody can do better than AI!
Artificial Intelligence holds the potential to make groundbreaking technologies in the field of farming which could be of immense help to mankind. The challenges in conventional farming related to rainfall, the right temperature, soil quality and nutrients can be substantially mitigated or eliminated by the application of Artificial Intelligence.
Read on to know how Artificial Intelligence is impacting agriculture:
Agriculture Robots:
Don't be shocked if you see a robot tending to the crops in the fields rather than a farmer! Robots have all stepped forward to take on a variety of farming chores, including inspecting and verifying the quality of crops, weeding out subpar crops, and harvesting crops in no time.
Agriculture Applications
With the advent of smartphones, AI-powered apps like Kheti Badi, Agri Market are helping farmers to understand various farming methods, grow organic products, learn about fertilizers, harvest time and much more.
Soil Quality and Price Forecast
Artificial intelligence helps determine soil quality, nutritional inadequacies, and plant pests and illnesses. Higher prices are associated with higher-end yield quality.
Precision Farming:
With regard to "the right place, right time, and right goods," precision farming uses high-resolution photographs and data collection to assess the health of the plants.
Farm Health:
Artificial Intelligence helps to detect the diseased part of a plant by using computer vision and other such techniques. The diseased part can then be tested in a lab and enough nutrients and herbicides can be administered accordingly.
