Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using agricultural drones?

  1. Crop Health Monitoring

  2. Pest and Disease Detection

  3. Livestock Tracking

  4. Soil Analysis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Agricultural drones are primarily used for crop monitoring, pest detection, and livestock tracking, not soil analysis.

The term 'precision agriculture' is often associated with:

  1. Variable Rate Application of Inputs

  2. Site-Specific Crop Management

  3. Data-Driven Decision Making

  4. All of the Above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Precision agriculture involves variable rate application, site-specific management, and data-driven decision making.

Which of the following is NOT a type of agricultural sensor?

  1. Soil Moisture Sensors

  2. Temperature and Humidity Sensors

  3. Crop Yield Sensors

  4. pH Sensors


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Crop yield sensors are not typically considered agricultural sensors, as they measure the output rather than environmental or crop conditions.
