... he way farmers manage crops to ensure efficiency of inputs such as water and fertilizer, and to maximize productivity, quality, and yield as well minimizing pests, unwanted flooding, and diseases. It begins the cycle by collecting information about their crop yields. This is done through a series of sensors specialized for a purpose, then the data is transferred to cloud for intelligent processing and further data analytics and at the end is either suggested to take actions or is done autonomously.
