Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies, 2020
Smart farming is a key component of the modern agricultural revolutions. The concept of Smart agriculture was first emerged in the United States in early 1980s. Smart farming means application of precise and correct amount of inputs like water, fertilizer, pesticides etc. at the correct time to the crop for increasing its productivity and maximizing its yields. Smart farming comprises of geospatial technology and Internet of Things (IoT). Intregation of Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing provide a solution where mapping for the disease incidences can be carried out. Once mapped, the experts can actually understand the causes which led to the crop infestations. Early warnings and forecasting based methods provide appropriate time for managing pest damage and can thus minimize the crop loss, optimize pest control and reduce the cost of cultivation [8]. In the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), every object is connected with each other through a unique identifier, so that, it can transfer data over the network to the human interaction [21]. Therefore, farmers have to be trained adequately so that they can monitor the dynamics of pests and diseases and take right decision at the right moment.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based pest management advisory, based on integrated pest management (IPM), provided to cotton farmers on smartphones, resulted in a reduction in pest attacks & up to 22% higher income in the 1 year 2020-21 in Ranebennur, Karnataka, and Wardha, Maharashtra states. However, no significant benefit was seen in a multistate experiment in 2021-22 due to unusually high rainfall, resulting in lower pest attacks. The artificial intelligence was used in pest detection & counting insect numbers in the pheromone trap to decide if threshold numbers were reached for pesticide spraying decisions. This was 1-2 weeks in advance of mass pest emergence and could control it to reduce crop damage. It required manual trap checking by the farmers on a weekly basis, which many farmers disliked. Artificial intelligence coupled to remote sensing, GIS, and/or farm sensors can benefit the farmers by cutting costs, increasing yield, and enabling cleaner production. Lower environmental pollution and less risk to farmers and consumers are cobenefits of the AI-IPM package. However, mating disruption technology, a competitor, includes putting 4-6 pheromone traps per acre for the mass capture of moths. It is organic-compatible, and another competitor is the mechanical growing degree day (GDD)-based IPM advisory, such as that provided by the startup "Fasal." These are unintelligent, mechanical, but very effective algorithms. Thus, a cautious, logical, and gradual approach is needed in promoting AI in agriculture, also keeping in mind its impact on labour displacement.

Since the initiation of human race, we have been rapidly consuming resources in order to survive on this planet later, also for wants and leisure. The human race is expanding rapidly , UN quoted that the earth's population will reach above 2 billion and as the population expands so will the basic and leisurely needs and wants will, but one of the most basic needs that we have is food , it is essential for the proper functioning of human body and mind and in Post green revolution we witnessed an increase in the output of the agriculture. But in order to sustain the ever increasing population we need another revolution. In this article we will discuss how we can implement IoT (internet of things) and AI (artificial intelligence) in modern agriculture in order to increase output and to decrease the input. SCOPE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AGRICULTURE In a country like India where 58% of rural population is still dependent on agriculture in indirect or direct manner.Most of the farming done by farmers in the rural area is of an organised manner and very scattered agriculture techniques. The industry is in dire need of skilled and educated farmers. Adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning both in terms of agricultural production in field farming techniques can be a game changing move in the sector. Some of the search techniques is cognitive computing which uses various predetermined data sets and special monitoring tools to monitor each specific batches of crops in order to analyse their growth and health to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. Farmers can also be given advice by experts of each specific fields of agriculture based on on the data that is being recorded by the system.Adopting such techniques would mean that more manual labour can be utilised in order to increase output. Now will talk about some of these techniques which can be implemented in the agricultural sector IMAGE PROCESSING With the help of drones and high resolution cameras in constant 24 hour surveillance of each and every single plant in batches ,we can collect the data and process it with the help of a machine learning algorithm trained it with predetermined data sets in order to determine the health and growth of individual types of plant as well as to group the relevant data together in order to organise the data and inform the certified person regarding the issues found. This technique can also help in harvesting where it can inform the farmer regarding where each batch of crops in terms of harvesting status which will result in decrease in wastage of resources by constantly monitoring and responding the data to the machine learning algorithm, which in turn will organise the data and inform the farmer regarding the status of the crops. Internet Of Things (IoT) With the help of arduino and different type of sensor we can gather huge volumes of data everyday both in organised and unorganised format.

Dr. Yohanna J . Alhassan
Developing nations primarily depend on rain-fed agriculture and traditional methods to manage and prevent crop pests and diseases. However, the impact of global warming has significantly reduced agricultural productivity in these regions, making them more susceptible to food insecurity. The lack of sufficient extension services and limited access to information provided by agricultural organizations at both local and national levels has resulted in the decreased productivity of arable lands in these countries. This research contends that utilizing digital tools can assist farmers in enhancing farm output in the face of the aforementioned issues. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are advanced technologies that can be used to create applications that offer farmers with precise and upto-date agricultural information, which is crucial for making informed decisions. This research aims to determine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture to address the issues encountered by farmers in developing countries.
