Connected technologies enabling accurate insights

The ability of connected devices and technologies to generate accurate insights can drive the Internet of Things in precision agriculture market growth. Precision agriculture utilizes various technologies and devices such as sensors, GPS systems, drones and other equipment to collect vital field data. This data when combined with advanced analytics and IoT capabilities can provide actionable insights to farmers. Parameters such as soil moisture levels, ambient temperature, nutrient levels, and insect population that impact yield can be continuously monitored through connected sensors. Technologies like drones equipped with advanced cameras and sensors allow capture of field images at high resolutions. Image analytics helps identify issues such as diseases and insect attacks at an early stage when remedy is most effective.

The seamless connectivity between various devices and tools by IoT enables compiling field data from diverse sources into a unified platform. This big data when analyzed using techniques like predictive modeling, prescriptive actions and advanced forecasting generates robust insights. Thus, farmers can make well-informed decisions regarding optimal seed varieties, quantity of fertilizers and pesticides required, irrigation schedules and other farm operations. It helps to achieve higher yields while minimizing costs and wastage of resources. The insights also assist in planning and taking precautionary measures well in advance based on predicted weather patterns and their impact.

Smart machinery boosting efficiency

 Increased adoption of smart machinery can drive the market growth. Modern agricultural equipment is increasingly being integrated with advanced technologies that improve functionality and boost efficiency of operations. Machines are being outfitted with auto-steering systems, sensors, cameras, controls and other IoT capabilities. For example, smart tractors come equipped with GPS, telemetry sensors as well as auto-control of implements to autonomously navigate fields according to programmed work patterns. Sensors send real-time data about performance of different parts to the cloud for monitoring and preventive maintenance.

Smart sprayers contain sensors and cameras to detect crop density and health status in real-time. The sprayers then automatically adjust the dosage and droplet size of pesticides and fertilizers as required during spraying cycles.
