Application of Modern Techniques, Drones and IoT in Indian Agriculture

Abstract

India's vast agricultural sector is on the cusp of a transformation. Modern techniques like drones and the Internet of Things (IoT) are poised to revolutionize the way farmers manage their land, optimize resources, and boost yields. This fusion of technology and traditional practices holds immense potential to address longstanding challenges in Indian agriculture, ensuring food security for a growing population and empowering farmers toward a more sustainable and profitable future. Drones are being used to collect data on crop health, soil conditions, and water levels. This data can be used to create detailed maps of farms, which can help farmers to identify areas that need attention. Drones can also be used to spray pesticides and fertilizers, which can save farmers time and money. IoT devices are being used to track the movement of livestock and to monitor their health. This data can help farmers to identify sick animals early on, so that they can be treated promptly, IoT devices can also be used to monitor the temperature and humidity of greenhouses, which can help farmers to create optimal growing conditions for their crops.
