- Precision & digital, GlobalPrecision agriculture and data-driven farmingPrecision agriculture uses GPS, remote sensing and data analytics to guide planting, fertilising and pest control, aiming to raise yields, cut input costs and improve soil health.
- Precision & digital, IndiaIndian agriculture department to fly drones over 100 districts; DGCA grants permitThe DGCA has allowed the agriculture department to fly drones over 100 rice and wheat districts to estimate crop yields and speed up claim settlements under PMFBY.
- Machinery, GlobalEvolution in agriculture: how automation is modernising farming practicesPrecision agriculture, robotics, AI and drones are automating farm work and improving decisions, while cost, skills, data management and reliance on technology pose challenges.
- Precision & digital, GlobalFarmers use tech to make their yields efficientAI software, IoT sensors, robots and drones can help farmers cut labour and water costs and make better decisions, though cost, data security and adoption remain hurdles.
- Precision & digital, GlobalDrones for crop monitoring and managementDrones carrying cameras and sensors help farmers monitor crop health, map fields and target water and fertiliser, though cost, training and regulation are hurdles.
- Precision & digital, GlobalAI and ML contribution in agriculture in 2022Explains how AI and machine learning are used in farm research, field monitoring with drones and sensors, smart irrigation and robotic weeding and harvesting.
- Precision & digital, GlobalThe era of farm automationExplains how autonomous tractors, sensor-driven drip irrigation and drones are being used to automate crop and livestock production as farms face labour shortages.
- Precision & digital, GlobalNavigating drones in farming: balancing advantages and drawbacksDrones help farmers monitor crops, map fields and apply inputs precisely, but bring upfront costs, skills needs, short flight times, weather limits, regulation and privacy concerns.
- Precision & digital, GlobalSmart agriculture solutions for harvesting cropsDescribes precision agriculture, drones, indoor growing controls, sensors and robots that farms can use to raise efficiency and cope with a changing climate.
- Precision & digital, Global5 emerging innovations in the field of agricultureA guide to five farm technologies: GIS mapping, AI and data science, drones, automation and combined crop monitoring data.
