Precision farming is a farm management method that involves using software technologies and principles to control spatial and temporal variability in all aspects of agricultural production in order to improve crop performance and environmental quality. It's quickly gaining traction in developed countries as a tool for addressing the issue of agricultural sustainability. Precision farming has been garnering greater attention in the Indian context as the digitization era in agriculture and horticulture has progressed. Though widely adopted in industrialised countries, it is still in its infancy in most developing countries, such as India, where it requires integrated and long-term efforts ranging from pre-harvest tillage to post-harvest handling of Agri - Horti crops. Knowledge of latest breakthroughs in the field of precision agriculture. The use of technology makes it easier to anticipate future issues. As a result, this article provides an overview of precision farming technology development and current state in India.
