# How is AI used in farming?



## Answers

### Answer by Ayesha Cheema

AI is helping farmers in several ways:

- **Crop disease detection**, where farmers photograph leaves with a phone app and get a diagnosis.
- **Weather and pest forecasts** to plan sowing and spraying.
- **Soil and irrigation advice** using sensors and satellite data.
- **Yield and price predictions** to decide when to sell.
- **Drones** for spraying fertilisers and pesticides precisely.

In India, government and private projects are testing AI advisory services in local languages. Small and marginal farmers stand to benefit most if tools are affordable and easy to use.
