Precision Agriculture and Data Handling Technologies: Transforming Farming Through Data-Driven Solutions
Keywords:
Precision Agriculture, Data Handling, IoT in Agriculture, Machine Learning in Farming, Remote SensingAbstract
Precision agriculture (PA) has emerged as a transformative approach in modern farming, harnessing the power of data, sensors, and technological innovations to optimize agricultural practices. By using various tools such as satellite imagery, GPS, and IoT-based sensors, farmers can make more informed decisions regarding irrigation, fertilization, pest control, and crop management. This review examines the critical aspects of precision agriculture, focusing on the technologies involved, the role of data collection and analysis, and the challenges faced in data handling. As the demand for sustainable and efficient farming practices grows, understanding these technologies and their effective implementation is paramount.
