Abstract
The digitalization of data points has caused a tsunami in every industry. This has brought up a new technology named Artificial intelligence among us. AI has been in continuous demand in the farming industry for the
past few years. To cultivate a healthier crop free from disease and pests, forecast weather patterns, analyze data, and enhance other activities, the agriculture sector is evolving into AI. With the help of AI, farmers can
increase crop production, making it economically more feasible. Many AI-equipped technologies, like AI-based chatbots, drones, and sensors, are being used in the field. Farmers are also using AI-based self-tractors and
combine harvesters. Researchers are currently conducting experiments on different crops through AI, and many have been done on the crops. The future of AI farming is broad. Though AI has several advantages, it does
have some limitations, like leakage or manipulation of data. This review article explores the wide-ranging applications of AI in precision agriculture. We have presented our reviews on the emergence of AI and its
necessity in this progressing era of agriculture.

Introduction
Intelligence is defined as the capacity to think, envision, memorize, comprehend, see patterns, make decisions, adapt to change, and learn from experience. AI is focused on making computers behave more human-like and
in a fraction of the time it takes a person to do it. As a result, it is known as Artificial Intelligence. AI is growing in today’s world practically in every field of industry. It is labor labor-intensive, time-consuming, and more
resourceful method. The craze for AI-enabled technologies is rising because of its efficiency. It gives positive results in less time with the least inaccuracy.
Precision agriculture is the agricultural practice of using modern technological devices or AI algorithms to enhance crop yield and productivity. It is done by using technological sensors and analysis tools. The newly-
organized technologies require the full data of the crop which involves the season cycle, soil conditions, climatic requirements, fertilizer requirements, irrigation, and cultural practices. Managing all these factors is a big
task for the farmers. Thus, precision agriculture has come up with all the factors required by the producers.

Limitations and Challenges Conclusion

AI is growing rapidly due to its high rate of competency and output. It is full Precision agriculture is the new approach in the agriculture field. It offers data
