Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, is a crop management method that optimizes agricultural production by utilizing technology and data for precise placement of seed, fertilizer and pesticides. It enhances increase crop yields, reduce waste, and reduce environmental impact by applying the appropriate amount of inputs, such as seed, water, fertilizer, and pesticides for each crop. Farmers can reduce expenses by reducing the usage of expensive inputs while increasing yields and crop quality by employing precision farming techniques. Commercially available planters normally use mechanical metering systems which have many limitations including, skidding of the wheel, non-uniform seed rate, wastage of the seed and higher maintenance cost. It is evident from recent researchers that irregularly in seed placement, which is generally caused due to wheel slippage and seed metering systems powered by electric or hydraulic motor can maintain accurate seed placement and can work at higher speeds compared to traditional planters.
