Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing agriculture, particularly in seed harvest and biotechnology. These technologies enhance precision farming by offering data-driven solutions for crop monitoring, disease detection, and resource management. This chapter explores how AI and IoT optimize seed harvest, improve crop yields, and promote sustainable farming. AI analyzes data on soil health, weather, and crops, aiding better decisions in planting, irrigation, and fertilization, while IoT devices provide real-time environmental data. The synergy between AI and IoT improves resource allocation and crop management. Examples from the Netherlands and India demonstrate their success in boosting yields and controlling pests. Despite challenges like high costs and technical expertise, ongoing advancements will support wider adoption. In conclusion, AI and IoT significantly improve agricultural efficiency, productivity, and sustainability, contributing to global food security.
