There are various software and hardware components involved in these processes. The software components are aimed at managing soil, seeds, irrigation and fertilizers to make predictions and provide information to maximize yield. The hardware components are sensors, drones, harvesting robots and seeders. The topics included in this book on agricultural automation are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
