Agribusiness employs more than 66 percent of India’s rural population and is the country’s economic backbone. Beat crop growth is essential for practical farming since it increases soil diversity and actual design, and it may be grown in blended frameworks. Crop growth rates, applicability, and yields have not improved significantly over time in the United States. Crops are defined by their seasonality, derived nature of demand, and relatively inelastic pricing. The general purpose of this research is to demonstrate the usefulness of price forecasting for agricultural prices and validate it for rice, which is consumed more in Indian states, for the year 2022, using time series data from 2016 to 2021. Every year, data for 50 days is collected and multiplied. The range of ten and its multiple is used for predicting. The results were obtained through the use of univariate analysis. To develop grain price estimates, researchers used Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) methods, and the precision of the forecasts was examined using conventional mean square error (MSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) standards. As proven by the outcomes of ARIMA price predictions, the ARIMA model’s efficacy as a tool for price forecasting was effectively demonstrated by realistic models of projected prices for 2020. Because the MSA and MAPE values were lower, the forecast was more accurate. In addition, the price forecasting in this model is dependent on government incentives.

Crop diseases, pest infestations, water shortages, weed infestations, and other issues affect the agriculture sector. Due to existing agricultural techniques, these issues result in significant crop loss, economic loss, and severe environmental hazards. Because agriculture is such a dynamic industry, robotics cannot solve all of its difficulties; instead, a single solution to a specific complex problem is supplied. To assist with these issues and provide a better approach globally, a variety of systems have been developed. Plant protection robots are characterized by complexity, constraint, and nonlinearity. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of plant protection robots in agricultural job path planning, we propose a path planning method for agricultural plant protection robots based on a nonlinear algorithm. The ant colony algorithm was selected to plan the path distance index according to the working environment, and the feasibility of the simulation system was calculated. The results show that the fastest time used by the nonlinear algorithm is 5.3, and the path planning accuracy is up to 97.8%. Compared with the traditional algorithm, the algorithm has higher accuracy, less computing time, and higher computing efficiency.

Agriculture and plants, which are a component of a nation's internal economy, play an important role in boosting the economy of that country. It becomes critical to preserve plants from infection at an early stage in order to be able to treat them. Previously, recognition and classification were carried out by hand, but this was a time-consuming operation. Nowadays, deep learning algorithms are frequently employed for recognition and classification tasks. As a result, this manuscript investigates the diseases of sunflower leaves, specifically Alternaria leaf blight, Phoma blight, downy mildew, and Verticillium wilt, and proposes a hybrid model for the recognition and classification of sunflower diseases using deep learning techniques. VGG-16 and MobileNet are two transfer learning models that are used for classification purposes, and the stacking ensemble learning approach is used to merge them or create a hybrid model from the two models. This work makes use of a data set that was built by the author with the assistance of Google Images and comprises 329 images of sunflowers divided into five categories. On the basis of accuracy, a comparison is made between several existing deep learning models and the proposed model using the same data set as the original comparison.

In Tamil Nadu, a constituent state of India, the cultivable area under paddy had reduced over the period of time due to various factors. This study aims to enumerate the factors responsible for paddy growers’ diversification in the study area. Altogether 60 respondents were asked for the factors responsible for diversification. The major push factor responsible for diversification was inadequate labour availability & irrigation and availability of farm inputs was the major pull factor.
