There are various factors that influence the quality and quantity of agricultural products; among them, weather conditions play the most significant role in agriculture. More reliable weather forecasting enables farmers to make important planting and harvesting decisions that can enhance agricultural yield. Thus, there is a dire need to combine all available modern technologies and agricultural science for economic and environmentally sustainable crop production. In this direction, artificial intelligence (AI) serves as a budding solution in the domain of agriculture practices.

Artificial Intelligence Tools and Technologies for Smart Farming and Agriculture Practices discusses various tools and technologies that can be used in smart farming and agriculture practice and explores the role of different emerging technologies like the internet of things, big data, machine learning, deep learning, and AI from agricultural prospects. Covering key topics such as farming, pests, soil, and weeds, this premier reference source is ideal for environmentalists, farmers, agriculturalists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
