🌾 AI Applications in Agriculture

• Precision Farming — AI analyses soil data, weather, satellite imagery to optimise farming decisions (when to irrigate, how much fertilizer)
• Crop Disease Detection — AI apps identify plant diseases from photos; farmers can get instant diagnosis
• Yield Prediction — AI predicts crop yields using satellite data, weather forecasts, historical data
• Drone Spraying — AI-guided drones for targeted pesticide/fertilizer application; reduces waste
• Soil Analysis — AI analyses soil health data; recommends fertilizers
• Market Price Prediction — AI predicts crop prices; helps farmers decide when to sell
• Irrigation Management — AI-controlled drip irrigation; reduces water waste
