ABSTRACT and weather forecasting, agro-industry, and agricultural
The agriculture sector is a vital part of human life and business. These technologies have been adopted in India,
global economies, but it faces numerous challenges that particularly in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra,
threaten productivity, sustainability, and food security. Punjab, and Gujarat.
These include crop diseases, inefficient farming practices, Industrial technologies have been used in modern

research paper proposes a unified AgroTech platform to
address these issues, integrating plant information, disease improving livelihoods. Real-time automatic devices, optical
