Abstract
In precision agriculture, too much advancement has been made to boost crop output. Almost 70% of rural residents in nations like India depend mostly on agriculture for their income. Sensors and the Internet of Things are crucial for creating a more environment-friendly and fruitful global agriculture. Large volumes of data may be intelligently monitored and analyzed to provide deeper understanding and information that can then be used to improve forecasting, judgment, and sensor management. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), that could potentially quickly be deployed for monitoring reasons, have considerably benefitted precision agriculture. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported adverse effects from manual fertilizer and pesticide spraying, causing a million cases. To address this issue, drones are being used to spray fertilizers and pesticides at different densities. These UAVs can assist farmers in increasing crop production by monitoring crop health and soil health, reducing ...
