Robots could be planting crops, while computers could be designing better fertilisers.
THE federal government has identified eight technologies that will be critical to agriculture over the next decade, ranging from mini satellites to genetic engineering.
The new discussion paper flags using autonomous vehicles and micro-drones to sow seeds, spray pesticides and harvest crops.
Gene technology could be used to modify crops to grow faster and resist diseases or designed microorganisms that clean pollutants from fields or waterways.
Computational chemistry could see computers design…
