Advancements In Precision Agriculture Technologies For Enhancing Crop Yields

Abstract

Precision agriculture, a contemporary farming method, harnesses advanced technologies to optimize resource utilization, elevate productivity, and diminish environmental impact. The incorporation of diverse technologies, encompassing hardware, software, and data analytics solutions, is pivotal in accurate decision-making across all agricultural phases. Key technologies such as satellite imagery, drones, sensors, and IoT devices play integral roles in this process. these technologies, enabling farmers to tailor interventions at a granular level and optimize resources like water, fertilizers, and pesticides to enhance yields, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. However, persistent challenges including data interoperability, accessibility, and adoption restrictions underscore the need for ongoing research and cooperation to fully unlock the potential of precision agriculture in addressing global food security and sustainability challenges. Progress in remote sensing, including satellite imaging and drones, is explored, alongside the integration of GPS and GIS technology for precise field mapping and monitoring. The present review explores precision agriculture technologies, including remote sensing with satellite imaging, drones, GPS, GIS, and sensor applications for real-time data. It also emphasizes transformative potential in reshaping farming practices, enhancing resource efficiency, and contributing to sustainability.
