Description
Summary:Artificial intelligence (AI) presents an opportunity to offer innovative solutions to long-standing challenges in agriculture. This review study provides an overview of AI applications in agriculture, focusing on its applications to predict and monitor crop growth rate and yield, climate change and weather patterns, pests and diseases management, weed management, animal production, agricultural machinery, crop irrigation, and soil management, and crop fertilization. AI technologies, including machine learning, computer vision, and precision agriculture, are explored. This review highlights the significant potential of AI to improve agricultural productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. Furthermore, the challenges and limitations of AI adoption in agriculture, including data quality and availability, infrastructure requirements, and ethical considerations, are also discussed. Overall, this study demonstrates the transformative power of AI in agriculture and highlights the need for continued research and investment in this critical field to build more resilient and sustainable agricultural production systems.
