of machinery, brigades, and monitoring. In other words everything related to a farm
or corporatized farms starting from accepting signals of in-homogeneity detected by
the satellites through SupervisorAgent, activating the drones to capture images of
the infected area and finally sending the images to the farmer or agronomist to take
future action. SpecificFarmAgent is also responsible for initiating the MachineAgent
for sprinkling pesticides over the infection diagnosed area of the fields.
5.3.3 SimulatedFarmerAgent
We can say that the SimulatedFarmerAgent acts on behalf of the farmer and is
always connected with the farmer by means of an application programming interface
through a mobile device. In cases, where something has to be done on the fields
like watering, ploughing, etc., the farmer instructs this agent by the mobile device
and with multi-agent collaboration between MachineAgent, SpecificFarmAgent and
Manure_FertAgent the task is accomplished.
5.3.4 PPPAgent
PPPAgent decides the usage of varied types of machines for plant curing products. This agent typically plans technological proceedings for containing the flow
of applied pesticides. PPPAgent also governs the barest minimum application of
pesticides in order not to diminish the vitality of the crop.
5.3.5 Manure_FertAgent
The horticulturist has full control over this agent in terms of the fertilizers and
nutrients for better crop production. This agent works in tandem with the PPPAgent
to control the pesticide and fertilizer usage in the farm.
5.3.6 PestAgent
Smart agriculture gives the agronomist deep decision making assistance, be it about
the disease or contamination by the pests. And all this is done by considering the state
of the farm. The PestAgent by taking information from UAVs and drones apprises
the agronomist about possible threats of the pests in the farm.
