Technology In Agriculture

In the world, everyone has been effected by technology in some way, but many do not know that technology also effects the development of agriculture. Technology in agriculture influences the agriculture communities positively. Technology in agriculture is related to mass media, because the companies who make the newest technologies sell product to many consumers around the world and numerous people of different cultures.

Agriculture has developed in different cultures throughout the years. Some cultures use more advanced technology than others do. For example, the Amish do not believe in using technology. “They often use horses to plant and plow their fields instead of tractors and combines. Many Amish also avoid using pesticides. Instead,

Crops are designed now to be grown in drought conditions and still produce a decent yield. Plants can also be made insect resistant by situations such as, “Let’s take a good example. A bacterium known as “Bacillus Thuringiensis” acts like a reservoir, it enables crops to be insect-resistant, so these genetically modified crops will grow without any interference from pests. The invention of this technology is being used in developing countries to grow cash crops like cotton, since this genetically engineered cotton plants are pest resistant, they grow better than the normal cotton plants hence yielding good results” (Ramey, 2012, Para. 2). There are many new chemicals and fertilizers now that they didn’t have prior to the 1930s. These new forms of fertilizer and chemicals led to better weed control and a high yield boost from the fertilizer. Weed control and high yield boost from fertilizer, are two key technologies in growing crops that can produce high bushels. The three most important types of fertilizers would be Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and

The different apps allow you to monitor your equipment to see how efficiently it is being used by your employees. An example of this is JD Link which is John Deere’s app to monitor your equipment. They make apps for irrigation systems too, so you can be at home and check the moisture of your field and decide if you want to turn on the irrigation pivot with the click of a button. As well as they can allow you to keep track of inventory and let a farmer look at their fields on their phone, to see how many acres there are and what they have planted in them. Not only is there apps, but there are websites that allow a farmer to share their yield data anonymously, such as Farmers Business Network, so they can see what other farmers in the area are doing and how well it is working for
