The field of agriculture has always demanded high standards of resources, professionalism and effort. Today majority of the world depends on agriculture for food consumption, economic growth, trade and employment. It also comes with various set of challenges for the agriculturists. Various agriculturists, famers, and scientists across the globe believe in formulating different plans and ideas to deal with these challenges. The basic aim in this field is to maximize the yield by intelligent and efficient use of the available resources which are generally limited and scarce costly. Hence it becomes really important to use them significantly. There are many factors which affect the crops, including weather and climatic conditions, lay of the land, soil parameters, etc. These factors increase the complexity of this field and demand innovative ideas to tackle it. The use of technology in various spectrums is often recommended in order to reduce the complexities get better results. It is used as a tool to balance and make proper adjustments in order to meet certain objectives. The use of science and technology in agricultural practices has yielded great results and helped the mankind in a significant way.
