The Important Role of AI in Farm Efficiency

Redox Grows

About this episode

No subject in technology garners more interest than artificial intelligence. The days of AI as futuristic science fiction are in the past. The use of AI in farming is growing, and it holds a lot of promise, according to UC Davis Professor, Isaya Kisekka.

“AI has been applied to a lot of aspects in agriculture,” Kisekka said. “For example, it’s being applied in plant breeding, robotic fruit harvesting, we apply it in irrigation and nutrient management, precision weed control, and all these things.”

Kisekka said he understands why some people have reservations with this technology, but it continues to improve and will offer a wide range of applications for growers.

“My dream would be, one day for us to have an autonomous irrigation system – an irrigation system that knows what to do, how to do it, and it can learn from what is has done.”
