III. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

 Existing System
As the evolution of humankind from hunters and
gatherers to agrarian societies, the efforts have mainly
focused on improving the plant yield and productivity by
either genetic changes, cultural or husbandry, management
practices, or by developing and introducing plant protection
measures. Accordingly, in the last and present century,
peoples have started exploring the possibilities by adopting
different modern techniques in agriculture. The adoption of
the precision farming methods in agriculture is one of the
excellent examples. The purpose is to try and mechanise
them in agriculture to prevent the crop losses due to sudden
climatic changes, soil-borne diseases, pest attaches, and so
on. However, many research studies have been suggested
and reported that problems and challenges of agriculture Fig 1
