Abstract

Agriculture is one of the factors that contribute to the economic development of most developing countries but for it to be successful, it needs some attributes like soil moisture, temperature, water accessibility, and pest management. Sustainable agriculture depends on the efficient surveillance and categorization of crops, an essential action for its promotion. Remote sensing and machine learning are viable methods for fulfilling these tasks. This paper focuses on an examination of how these elements can be adopted in civil engineering to enhance agricultural infrastructure. Through remote sensing and machine learning technologies in civil engineering, crop conditions are precisely observed and resource management is optimized more effectively. Through satellite imagery and environmental data analysis, engineers are able to monitor crop health, identify water stress, and optimize irrigation operations. For example, classification algorithms are useful in distinguishing the different types of crops and discovering pest outbreaks, which allow preventive treatments to be put in place. The issue of water scarcity has serious consequences in the agricultural sector. Through the use of remote sensing data with machine learning algorithms, engineers can locate exhaust regions and apply irrigation techniques with a high level of precision. In addition, accurate classification of crops helps in maximizing the utilization of land and resources as well as their allocation. Remote sensing and machine learning application contribute to more effective pest and disease management. Engineers through environmental data analytics can detect early signs of infestation and forecast epidemics because of which they can make timely interventions and reduce crop destructions. By a combination of remote sensing and machine learning in civil engineering, the prospects of increasing the quality of agricultural infrastructure have a novelty. Enabling interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers ensures that the engineers can design unique solutions to the complex problems that agriculture is faced with. This not only gives the agriculture a long-term stability, but also it is a very important factor that stimulates economic development in the countries which are developing.
