From tradition to technology: The impact of ai and IoT on agronomy practices in India and internationally

Agriculture is undergoing a significant transformation due to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies have revolutionized traditional farming methods, enabling precision agriculture, resource optimization, and real-time decision-making. This study explores the impact of AI and IoT on agronomic practices in India and globally, focusing on their role in crop management, pest control, and sustainable farming. The findings highlight the advantages of AI-driven predictive analytics and IoT-enabled smart sensors in improving productivity, reducing resource wastage, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Despite the numerous benefits, challenges such as high implementation costs, lack of technical expertise, and infrastructure limitations hinder widespread adoption. This paper underscores the need for policy support, farmer education, and technological advancements to enhance the scalability of AI and IoT in agriculture.
