Precision Agriculture a Promising Technology in Agriculture: A Review

This paper discusses about the development of precision agriculture technology in India with their existing constraints and opportunities. India is an agricultural country has quite wide agricultural land and most of the people in this country are working in this sector. A Precision Agriculture is a farm management strategy with a goal of multi-year crop growth stability. Precision agriculture employs the techniques to improve the production and its quality. Precision farming becomes more and more an accepted way of crop production in India and helps to achieve a sustainable environmentally friendly agriculture. The benefit and effectiveness of using precision farming techniques is highly dependent on the capabilities of the utilized technology. Thus, the emerging techniques of Precision Agriculture are used. Farmers should be encouraged by fostering their knowledge, technology, networking, and information access in order to prepare them as modern agricultural actors in the 21st century. It is being suggested by most of the authors to adopt the remote sensing network for Precision Agriculture.
