As the global population approaches 9 billion, the pressure on agriculture to produce sufficient food will escalate, leading to significant challenges in sustainable food production. Maize Agriculture addresses the urgent need to develop improved maize cultivars grown under advanced technological conditions to combat these future food shortages and nutritional deficiencies. Furthermore, climate change, with its impacts on temperature, precipitation, carbon dioxide levels, and the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, is likely to significantly affect soil water availability, carbon storage, and crop yields. This book digs into these pressing issues, offering an in-depth exploration review of the latest technologies in maize research. This comprehensive resource covers a wide range of topics essential for modern maize agriculture. Beginning with an overview of global maize production, the book progresses through chapters on advanced phenotyping platforms for sustainable maize production. Following that, it explores the integration of genomics and phenomics for maize breeding and the application of AI and machine learning models for genomic trait prediction. Further chapters discuss the use of GIS and global databases for agricultural planning, remote sensing for biotic and abiotic stress monitoring, and advanced AI-based approaches for disease management. Each chapter is carefully structured to provide in-depth insights and practical applications, ensuring a thorough understanding of the subject matter.Maize Agriculture is an invaluable resource for upper-level undergraduate students and researcher across various life science and agriculture disciplines, including agriculture, horticulture, botany, biochemistry, and biotechnology. Additionally, maize breeders, agronomists, and agricultural professionals engaged in maize research will find the actionable strategies in this book invaluable. By integrating digital tools with traditional farming practices, this book ensures that readers are prepared for the future of maize agriculture.Provides a comprehensive overview of modern maize agriculture for food securityFunctions as an essential resource on advanced technologies in maize researchEquips upper-level undergraduate students across various life sciences and agriculture disciplines with practical knowledgeAddresses the gap in accessible, up-to-date resources on the integration of digital technologies in maize agricultureExplores the integration of genomics and phenomics for transforming maize breeding

Global human population is increasing rapidly, and it has been estimated to reached 9.7 billion by year 2050. With this massive population growth, the greatest challenge is sustainable food production. The traditional agriculture system does not have capacity to meet growing food demand therefore, it is emergent to introduce emerging technologies helping farming community to precisely utilize the resources to ensure food security under climate change conditions. The technological revolution of 21st century has transformed every sector of life with no exception to agriculture. The application of recent technical concepts i.e., Internet of things, cloud computing, big data, data mining and artificial intelligence had helped farming community to make smart decisions and actions for resolving complex problems of agriculture. Precision agriculture involves the utilization of sensors, drones, and satellite imagery for monitoring for monitoring crop health, soil conditions and weather patterns therefore, integration of artificial intelligence and data science-based technologies can improve sustainability, productivity, and climate resilience.  The utilization of data sciences in precision agriculture represents a radical turn toward knowledge-based decision making. The application of data science concepts can help farming community to optimize the resource allocation, real time crops monitoring, efficiently and timely harvesting and yield prediction. This synergy will not only enhance the productivity but can also promote sustainable agricultural practices.The book covers the latest developments taking place on application of data sciences for precision agriculture. It specifically focuses on the technological innovations for improving decision making, and cover various fields of data sciences and their application in agriculture production system.
