5 Basic Benefits of Precision Agriculture You Never Imagine

By IAPrecisionMay 3, 2024

Imagine having a system that takes all of your worries away as a farmer. Be it from the anxiety from weather conditions, uncertainty around yield, pest and weed invasion, and every other problem you can think of. Precision agriculture is the answer to all of these worries.


Precision agriculture seems like a sophisticated technology that is only available to the rich. However, prepare to have your perspective on precision agriculture challenged and transformed. And while you may believe there's little new to discover, this information promises to unveil a comprehensive view that you have yet to explore.


Despite your existing wealth of knowledge on the topic, it's time to delve deeper and consider a broader spectrum of insights. We present to you five fundamental advantages of precision agriculture that may exceed your current imagination. There are:

1. Less Labor, More Profits

One of the foremost challenges plaguing the agricultural sector in numerous African nations, particularly Nigeria, is the acute shortage of laborer's. Nowadays, it appears that young people are reluctant to pursue careers in agriculture, largely due to misconceptions or insufficient information. The illusion on the premise that agriculture is very tedious and requires a lot of physical effort makes people run far from it.

This reluctance has significantly hindered our growth and productivity rates. Precision agriculture introduces the latest technologies capable of executing your essential farming tasks autonomously. This eliminates human error, ensuring maximum efficiency and productivity.


For instance, tractors can clear your vast hectares of land far more efficiently than manual labor. Agriculture drones can swiftly spray fertilizer across extensive areas, a feat impossible to achieve with human labor alone. These advancements contribute to heightened production rates, effectively addressing the challenge of labor scarcity.

2. It Promotes all Agricultural Fields

It is important to recognize that precision agriculture isn't limited to crop farming alone. Precision agriculture extends its great benefits to livestock rearing and fishery management as well. Interestingly, while of the focus has been on crop planting and harvesting.

However, precision agriculture also brings significant advantages to animal agriculture and fisheries. For crops, precision agriculture facilitates easy fertilizer spraying and enhances crop health. More so, it predicts yields accurately and reduces environmental impact.

In livestock farming, it improves feed management, enables better health monitoring, optimizes breeding programs, and enhances grazing management. Similarly, in fishery, precision agriculture improves aquaculture practices and enhances feeding management. Through precision agriculture, remote sensing is used for fisheries management and facilitates fish tracking and monitoring.

By spreading efficiency and productivity across various agricultural fields, precision agriculture revolutionizes crop cultivation. Importantly, it also has effects on livestock rearing and fishery management.

3. Better Yield and Better Results

Another remarkable aspect of precision agriculture lies in its ability to engage in every phase of plant growth and development. You can monitor your plants' health without being physically present on the farm. That sounds impossible, right?


Well, in fact, you can monitor your farm from anywhere in the world. This system will enable you to access crucial information. This information then allows you to make data-driven decisions, regardless of your location.


Imagine receiving daily updates about your crops, enabling you to make precise and timely decisions. Isn't that an incredible concept? This capability extends to hundreds of hectares of land, allowing you to assess the health of all crops. Thereby, providing tailored solutions, no matter the size of your farm.

4. Sustainability is Guaranteed

It is commonly assumed that any technological advancement will inevitably impact your environment. And with the rising temperature in many locations around the world. Concerns about farmers’ actions are being raised about their effect on the ozone layer. And consequently, influencing farming seasons.


These concerns stem from the emissions released into the atmosphere from various human activities. However, it's reassuring to note that precision agriculture practices are designed with environmental sustainability in mind. The tools and methods utilized are eco-friendly, meaning there's no need to worry about harming the environment or causing alarm due to potential pollution.

Every precaution has been taken to ensure that these practices have minimal adverse effects on our surroundings.

5. Predict Harvest, Know what to Reap

Understanding the essence of precision agriculture hinges on its ability to optimize yields. Traditionally, we have relied on nature's whims or guesswork when it comes to harvests, often unsure of what to expect until everything is gathered. However, with precision agriculture, this uncertainty is greatly diminished.


By leveraging advanced techniques, you can accurately forecast your harvest quantities with remarkable precision. This knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions about which crops to harvest. Also, it allows you to provide precise information to potential buyers about the expected yield.


This not only minimizes waste but also grants you greater control over your options, ensuring that you can fully utilize all available resources.
