1There are 4 technologies used in agriculture in Israel, which are making farming there more efficient.

Drip irrigation(灌溉)systems

2Drip irrigation is a method in agriculture which is used to water the individual plant. It is effective in agriculture and helps to conserve water.In this method,water is supplied with pipes and there are holes in pipes in every plant spot. The water comes out of these holes and directly irrigates the roots of crops. This method helps maintain water in plants. Drip irrigation is best for the place where there is a scarcity of water as it is super-efficient for water conservation.

Reuse and recycle of water

3This is another revolutionary method that Israel applies in its agricultural system.Israel recycles about 86% of its waste water. This is the highest all around the world. The treatment plants take raw sewage (污水) and filter it. This filtered water is again filtered with micro-organisms to make it safe to drink.

Artificial intelligence in agriculture

4The use of AI in agriculture is a great revolution. It has made so much agricultural work easier and faster maintained the quality. This includes the use of satellite imagery,aerial footage, big data and predictive analysis to monitor the fields and help farmers to make the best decision.The use of different imagery sensors makes it possible to get really high-resolution images of fields.With these high-resolution images,farmers can detect very small insects on leaves and the computer analyses the insects and provides the details about the insects.After farmers get full information about the insects,they can use specific insecticides (殺蟲劑) for those particular insects. Not only insects, but farmers can also detect weeds and other different diseases.

Robotics

5The use of robots in agriculture in Israel has made all the work ways faster and easier.The robots harvest the fruits and other agricultural products so accurately that post-harvest loss is reduced and they ultimately increase farm profit.Robots with computer vision can actually pick fruits straight off the trees.
