In what ways can AI-driven predictive analytics and machine learning models optimize crop yield, water usage, and soil health, and how do these technologies contribute to minimizing environmental impacts and promoting sustainable agriculture?
AI-driven predictive analytics and machine learning models can help optimize crop yield, water usage and soil health in various ways. Here are some of the ways it helps:
Crop yield:
- Depending on the farm location, climate, and season, it can help to predict the type of crops to plant, the specie of crop that will yield the best quality and quantity of produce.
- It can predict the vulnerabilities of each crop to different diseases and helps to prepare ahead for counter measures.
- It can help to monitor the rate and time to apply pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides which can affect crop yield.
- It can help to estimate ROI taking into cognizance the costs of required efforts to generate the maximum yield and the estimated sale of produce in a market of willing participants.
Water Usage:
- It can help to predict water level in the soil for planning purposes.
- It can help in the automation of irrigation systems based on water level in the soil.
Soil health:
- It can help to analyzed the nutrient content in the soil and recommend additional nutrient required to achieve desired level of crop yield.
- It can predict causes of changes in soil health and recommend actions to improve them.
