How has technology helped agriculture?
Fortunately, technology offers innovative solutions that can increase productivity and improve resource efficiency in agriculture. 🔭
“Precision agriculture” or “smart agriculture”. It provided many technologies for agriculture, such as the possibility of controlling the elements of agriculture:
Water:
Such as water monitoring and testing devices, water analyzes are performed in order to ascertain the levels of various elements in the water, such as turbidity, pH, dissolved solids, resistivity, dissolved solids, salinity, conductivity, etc.
the soil :
A basic practice in agriculture aimed at evaluating soil quality and fertility. By analyzing various factors such as nutrient levels, pH, organic matter content, and soil structure, farmers can make informed decisions regarding fertilization, irrigation, and crop selection.
Air:
Air quality monitoring is an important tool for improving air quality, protecting public health, and ensuring compliance with regulations. It can also be used to identify sources of pollution, monitor climate change, or support research and development.
In addition to discovering modern farming methods such as:
💦 Hydroponics
This agriculture depends on the use of water in agriculture instead of soil.
🎋Vertical farming:
Crops in vertical farming are grown in vertical layers, which greatly saves space.
🪨 Hydroponics agriculture:
In hydroponics, crops are grown in an inert substrate such as rocks or gravel, irrigated with a nutrient solution.
🐛 Biodynamic agriculture:
Microorganisms are used in biodynamic agriculture to improve soil fertility and enhance crop growth.
And other methods developed by technology
Conclusion:
Technology provides solutions and devices to help farmers increase production and improve the quality of fruits today, but it must be used correctly in order to bear fruit in the best way.
