Application of Innovative Quantum Computing Technologies for Precision Agriculture—A Study
摘要
Nowadays, the global population is increasing, leading to a higher demand for food. However, the availability of land and other farming resources is declining. To address this challenge, it is essential to enhance agricultural productivity and yield. The most effective solution is to integrate advanced technology into agriculture. Precision agriculture is a farm management approach that focuses on observing, measuring, and responding to input variations within and between fields in modern farming. Its primary objective is to enhance efficiency and productivity, lower input costs, and promote environmental sustainability. With the use of precision farming, farmers receive guidance on selecting the most suitable seed varieties, managing soil with optimal fertilizer application, exact amount of irrigation needed based on soil moisture levels, and applying pesticides appropriately after assessing crop conditions. Continuous monitoring and data collection occur throughout the crop’s lifecycle to optimize every stage of agricultural production. This paper is a study to identify the application of quantum technologies to strengthen the existing smart agricultural methods and improve the overall outcome of farming. Quantum technology integrated to precision farming can be a benchmark in agricultural innovation.
