About

S. Ilakkiya is a rising authority in agricultural technology, focusing on the intersection of precision agriculture and digital transformation. Her work centers on two critical challenges: advancing precision weed control and facilitating the adoption of Agriculture 4.0 technologies. In her highly cited 2025 study on precision weed control using UAVs and robots (12 citations), Ilakkiya systematically assesses the feasibility and bottlenecks of these autonomous systems, providing actionable recommendations for scaling them to combat herbicide resistance and labor shortages. Her companion paper on Agriculture 4.0 adoption (11 citations) maps the opportunities and interventions needed to integrate IoT, artificial intelligence, and robotics into farming, addressing pressing issues like rising costs and environmental degradation. Together, these contributions offer a pragmatic roadmap for modernizing agriculture, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and on-farm reality. Ilakkiya’s work is notable for its forward-looking synthesis of technical feasibility with real-world implementation challenges, making her a key voice in the global push toward sustainable, data-driven farming. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of smart agriculture.
