“…A lightweight autonomous robot has been developed to measure soil fertility in terms of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) contents and pH, as well as stores the data locally and in the cloud to produce soil fertility map for more precise soil treatment and reduce unnecessary wastage fertiliser usage. The combination of intelligent autonomous and automatic indexing systems will result in the intelligent automatic levelling machine (Abu Bakar et al, 2019) for paddy field land preparation (Figure 7). Crop management, fertiliser and pesticide applications may be accomplished intelligently in rice production by combining unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with autonomous fertiliser applications or chemical spraying systems utilising variable-rate technology (VRT).…”

Food production must be considerably increased to maintain the world population, which is expected to reach 9.7 billion people by 2050. As a result, agriculture must be modernised and expanded in order to considerably increase food productivity; otherwise, achieving the second United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, Zero Hunger, will be challenging. Furthermore, humans are confronted with issues such as depleting natural resources and lands, climate change, unpredictable weather, and the effects of coronavirus disease. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on agricultural food yield has made food security a major global concern. Thus, the purpose of this work is to investigate the possibility of improving existing agricultural practises through mechanisation, automation, and adaptation of advanced technologies from industries, particularly research works from the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) into the new era of Agricultural Revolution 4.0, which uses Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) advanced technologies to reduce labour force dependency, production time, and increase productivity and food security.

“…With the help of modern technology, all of these manufacturers can offer a tractor with automatic control that has mechanical and electronic parts and has a cloud to store and process data. In the paddy industry, a bad conventional land levelling usually causes problems related to irrigation and this can affect crop yield (Abu Bakar et al, 2020). In modern farming, IoT can be implemented into mechatronic systems to make autonomous systems such as sugarcane harvesters.…”

In the current state of increasing technology, many new technologies are being introduced and developed by users in various branches of the field including in the cultivation and agriculture sectors, the increase demand for harvested products leading to the need to increase production to meet demand by farmers has prompted the use of technologies in land preparation before the start of planting, crop care, monitoring of crops, and preparation before harvesting. Technology is combined with agriculture to ensure increased yields while reducing dependence on labour. Internet of Things (IoT) is widely used in agriculture because it has the effect of reducing manpower which will reduce mistakes by human error. Farmers nowadays are moving towards autonomous farming as well as smart farming. IoT technology combined with agriculture can provide beneficial effects on crop processes as well as crop yields. This paper describes and discusses the technologies that are suitable to be used in agriculture. This paper also studies the use of IoT technology in farming.

“…There are numerous support systems that can be utilized as guides to determine the evenness of the land, such as laser systems and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Both of these methods can acquire data about the land's levelling status with an accuracy of up to 2 cm [10]. Laser technology, on the other hand, requires manual data collection.…”

Land preparation is essential in rice cultivation. Levelling is one activity of land preparation that is done to achieve good crop establishment and high-yield production. There are several methods for achieving this. Implementing the major levelling method or the cut and fill method produces the best land levelling results, especially during the dry season. However, during the wet season, this method cannot be implemented to level the land as the amount of water in the soil would make it impossible to do any cut and fill operation. As a result, this study was carried out to evaluate the outcome of various methods of land levelling. Land levelling work was done using a power tiller, box leveler, and power harrow implements. Meanwhile, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) with the support of a Real Time Kinematic (RTK) system was used to map the levelness of the land. Land levelness mapping data was taken after each land preparation activity was done. Following that, the mapping data was processed to determine the levelling index for each activity. A high value of the levelling index indicated a more perfect levelling quality of the land. A total of two study plots at MARDI Parit Station, Perak, were used for this study, with each plot having an area of 0.5 hectares. The results showed that the average levelling index for the power tiller, box leveler, and power harrow was 60.0%, 76.8%, and 85.9%, respectively. The use of a box leveler resulted in the greatest increase in the levelling index, with a difference of 24.2% compared to an increase of 11.9% with a power harrow. In conclusion, some land preparation activities can improve land levelness quality even during the wet season. Furthermore, during the wet season, the use of a box leveler can be recommended during land preparation work to replace major levelling work that cannot be performed to improve the quality of the land's levelness.
