Together, agriculture technology has revolutionized farming by making it more profitable, efficient, safer, and straightforward. Along with large scale commercial farms, small, medium, and marginal farm owners obtained most advantages from the -emerging digital agriculture systems as a result of including technology and agriculture.
Agriculture with Remote Sensing Technology
a lot of sensors, equipment, gadgets, systems etc. are used in remote sensing technology for agriculture for a lot of applications, including Yield Monitoring systems, which introduce necessary crop data like crop weight yield by time, distance, GPS location calculated and recorded to within 30cm, Automatic Fertilizer Application equipment, which use yield maps to decide plants health by colouration to control crop input and many other tools.
Software applications
Many smartphone applications include the Internet of Things (IoT) and data aggregation and provide small farmers with up-to-date actionable information on sowing, weeding, fertilizing, and watering. These applications take data from handheld sensors, distant sensors, and weather stations to create detailed analyses and recommendations.

Agriculture takes help from ICT to assist meet the growing demand for novel techniques. It also contributes to rural people's upliftment by accessing organic resources, agricultural technology, adapting more effective production tactics, marketing,
banking, and financial services, among other areas.
Telemetrics Positioning technology
Telematics - the newest agricultural technology – is known as tracking tractors, trucks, equipment, and other assets using GPS and onboard diagnostics (OBD) to plot their movements on a computerized map. As a result, Telematics systems increase productivity and efficiency of operations.
By studying soil, crop, weed, and pest characteristics and providing important feedback for agricultural decisions, modern technology in agriculture will considerably increase farm productivity and increases the quality of life of small farmers.
