Agriculture is also one of the main applications of artificial intelligence. Enterprises use AI to detect and remove weeds in the fields, detect crop diseases, recognize pests, and distribute pesticides and fertilizers in the required quantities in a cost-effective manner. In addition, the systems monitor changes in environmental parameters such as air temperature, humidity and etc

In the near future, agriculture is planned to be equipped with the following devices:

* Unmanned aerial vehicles or drones that use GPS and radar to spray crops with chemicals and take aerial photos.
* Harvesting robots. Unlike combine harvesters, robotic devices for harvesting strawberries were not created long ago.
* Machines with AI for weed control. The Hortibot, created by AarhusUniversitet in Denmark, recognizes and eliminates weeds using mechanical devices and spot treatment with herbicide. This robot has a great future because it saves a lot of money and makes it easier for workers. Soon we will also see robots that specialize in plant pests and diseases.

Analysts at Energias Market Research forecast a 24.3 percent growth rate for the AI market in agriculture. Automation will be most actively used in the United States and Asia-Pacific countries. The main players here are Agworld, Farmlogs, Cropx, Microsoft, AGCO and some others.
