Future agriculture will use sophisticated technologies such as robots, temperature and moisture sensors, aerial images, and GPS technology, these advanced devices, and precision agriculture and robotics systems will allow farms to be more profitable, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly.
The future of agriculture?
Drip irrigation:
Agriculture accounts for 70% of all water usage. the agriculture industry needs to focus on improving water quality and also address water scarcity. this water conscious solution also translates into economic saving for farmers.
Precision farming:
Many things can happen over the course of a growing season. precision farming technologies can help eliminate uncertainty at least further reduce risks. precision farming involves gathering data via connected hardware like GPS-equipped tractor or sensors.
Drones in agriculture:
Imagine a drone that, in addition to mapping the cropping area, will also example: identify where the weeds are, which type they are , disease, and localize the application of agrochemicals.
Focus on soil health:
Soil health could very well be the next frontier in farming. while we know the benefits of reduced tillage in preserving soils and preventing erosion and moisture loss, we are still in our infancy regarding the complexities of the soil biome.
Enhanced hybridization:
The use of hybrid seeds enables better heterosis in unfavorable soil and climatic condition such as saline soils and rainfed ecosystems. better water stress tolerance in hybrids endured good yields even in case of low rainfall as witnessed over the last few years
Short duration hybrids produced more in less duration and thus consume less water.hybrid seeds with inbuilt traits can provide additional disease tolerance.
