Artificial Intelligence in Irrigation

Artificial intelligence can also be used to predict weather patterns and adjust irrigation schedules accordingly, reducing the need for manual adjustments based on weather forecasts. This can lead to significant water savings and improved crop yields. In terms of optimizing crop selection and planning, AI can analyze historical data and environmental factors to recommend the most suitable crops for a specific region, taking into account factors such as soil type, climate, and water availability. This can help farmers make more informed decisions about what crops to plant and where, leading to higher yields and reduced water usage. Overall, the use of AI in irrigation has the potential to significantly reduce water usage, improve crop yields, and minimize environmental impacts associated with agriculture. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of AI in water management and agriculture specifically on weather forecasts. This can lead to significant water savings and improved crop yields.

With the use of Drone Technology and UAV use of AI are very much in use in the scientific institutions. Only need of hour is that these technologies need a significant revision to be used on a small and modular format which may offer as a one platform for the farmers as a service.
