Advantages of technological development in agriculture 


In past times farmers lacked knowledge and awareness of conditions leading to low productivity and problems like excessive loss of water during irrigation, damage to land and crops, and critical water pollution. But as technology developed, it affected all areas and agriculture was no exception. Today, there are many new techniques and advances in technologies used by farmers to increase efficiency, offer competitive prices, optimize the use of water for crops, and reduce the negative effects on the environment. Many organizations are researching seed types, the optimum amount of water and fertilizers for certain types of crops, effects of new agriculture devices on productivity, how to minimize cost while maintaining quality to increase revenues, the effects of chemicals on soil, and more.


Effective technologies used and praised by farmers


 

Here are a few technologies and techniques that farmers have used and have found to be very effective.

 

Geographic Information Systems

A Geographic Information System (GIS Software) is designed to store, manage, and visualize any kind of geographic information to plan appropriately and to make well-informed decisions about the type of crops which would suit a certain location based on the texture and qualities of soil and weather conditions in that area. As the farmers do not need to treat the entire field and only the areas which require treatment, it would lead to cost-cutting, reduced damage to plants (due to fertilizers applied to the areas which did not need that), less runoff of chemicals into rivers and groundwater and also the conservation of water.

 

Satellite Imagery

Satellite images can be used to monitor land properties, plantation requirements, predict changes in weather, observe the area to form a proper agricultural plan, and also develop existing plans. Generating field images using satellites provides us with information that can be analyzed to learn about trends which helps with a consistent biomass estimation.

 

Farming software and online data

Farm management software provides the farmer with a detailed view of all farm activities and vegetation performance through a single platform, which enables efficient planning, the capacity to track activities in real-time and thus take the right decisions at right time to improve their productivity.

 

Aerial Drones

Drones are also considered to be very useful to deal with insects; the invasion is prevented by applying the insecticide on the hazard areas using drones, all while reducing the likelihood of direct exposure leading to chemical poisoning and hence damaging vegetation and animals. They also provide information through images and the images taken through drones have a higher resolution as compared to satellites.

 

Temperature and moisture sensors

Temperature and moisture sensors are very commonly used environmental sensors to check the climate of an area and the humidity conditions. These devices are often used in situations in which weather conditions may be extreme or need to be controlled due to varying reasons. Areas where there is high moisture, there is high humidity, and the weather is considered to be towards the warmer side. In addition, as the climate is a major factor that needs to be considered before cultivation, these sensors are of great value to the cultivators.



 

Famous agriculture companies

 

Following are a few famous agriculture companies researching and developing new tools and techniques to help farmers and to increase their efficiency.

 

AeroFarms LLC

Award-winning indoor farming company transforming agriculture with people and planet in mind.

Conclusion

Agriculture was and still is a very important part of our everyday lives as our nutritional needs are dependent on it. Developing countries earn a huge chunk of income through the cultivation and sale of their products. Technological developments have led to many benefits like the increased variety of seeds and crops, lower costs and hence higher profits, reduced ecological damage, reduced pollution and wastage of resources, saving of time and effort, and many more.
