Abstract

The agricultural industry contributes significantly to the economy. The primary issue and a hot topic globally is the automation of agriculture. The population is growing rapidly, and this growth is also increasing the demand for food and jobs. Farmers have been employing traditional methods but were insufficient to meet these demands. New automated techniques were consequently introduced. These innovative techniques supplied the world’s food needs while simultaneously giving billions of people access to jobs. Agriculture has undergone a revolution thanks to artificial intelligence. The agricultural output has been shielded by this technique from a number of circumstances, including population expansion, job issues, and food security concerns. Recently, the agriculture industry is witnessing the application of artificial intelligence (AI). To increase production, the industry must overcome a number of obstacles, including poor soil management, insect and disease infestation, the need for large amounts of data, low output, and a knowledge gap between farmers and technology. The major ideas behind AI in agriculture are its adaptability, excellence, accuracy, and economy. This essay provides an overview of the ways artificial intelligence has been applied to managing weeds, diseases, crops, and soil. The application’s advantages and disadvantages are highlighted and also how to use expert systems to increase productivity.
