Agricultural technology is the scientific knowledge in agriculture field where tools are used to improve agricultural productivity, efficiency and sustainability.

Looking around the world today, the important of Agriculture cannot be overemphasized, benefitting mankind in different ways, as such, to less stress for the farmers and to be able to control the growth of input and output products of animals, vegetables and crops.

For effective and smooth agriculture in the world, the Agritech knowledge give an insight to know the pest resistance, weather patterns, nutrient level, monitoring the soil, temperature, the used of robot, drones, automated tractor and many more.

mention at least 3 Modern Agricultural Equipments and discuss its Uses.

There are many modern Agricultural equipment used in agricultural practices, below are the few among them

• Drones (UAVs)

• Soil Sensors

• Combine Harvesters

• Livestock Monitoring Systems

• Robotic Milking Systems

S/N	Equipments	Uses
1	Drones	- It is used for data soil analysis on temperature, moisture. It is used in monitoring and dictating pest, disease and nutrients deficiency in crops. It is used as precisions application to apply pesticide and fertilizers.
2	Soil sensors	- Used For PH level and nutrients level analysis. Used to optimize fertilizers based on the needs of soil nutrients. Used in real-time to monitor soil moisture level.
3	Combine Harvesters	- For a single operation, combine harvester is used for efficient harvesting. It is used to minimize labor costs. Used to improve crops yield
4	Livestock monitoring system	- Used as disease detection. Used to monitor animal health/behavior, temperature. It is also used to improve animal health condition
5	Robotic Milking Systems	- As automated cow milking without human help. It's increases the quality of milk. Used to increase efficiency in diary farm productivity.
