Abstract

Agriculture is the primary source of basic needs like food, raw material and fuel, which are considered as the basic building blocks for the economic growth of any nation. Agriculture products threatened by various factors including decline in pollinators, various diseases in crops, improper irrigation, technology, scarcity of water and many others. Deep learning has emerged as a promising technique that can be used for data intensive applications and computer vision tasks. It has a great potential and like other domains, it can also apply to agriculture domain. In this paper, a comprehensive review of research dedicated to applications of deep learning for precision agriculture is presented along with real time applications, tools and available datasets. The findings exhibit the high potential of applying deep learning techniques for precision agriculture.
