Abstract

In this developing era, modern technology in agriculture has revolutionized traditional farming practices, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and productivity through innovative tools. Precision agriculture is one of those innovative tools, also referred to as site-specific crop management, is an advanced agricultural strategy that involves the precise application of soil and crop management practices to suit the different conditions of the fields. Precision agriculture utilizing tools (like remote sensing, geographic information systems, global positioning systems, and robotics) to monitor several parameters and gain information related to crop growth. Its primary aim is to recognize, assess, and manage the spatial and temporal variations in soil conditions within fields, all with the ultimate goal of enhancing profitability, promoting sustainability, and safeguarding the environment. It has the potential to decrease the quantity of necessary input. It's called "precision" because it emphasizes on the right intervention at the right time, at the right place, in the right amount and in the right manner, responding to the particular demands of individual crops or for a particular area of land.
