Abstract
This article analyzes the application of digital technologies in agriculture and their impact on crop productivity and farm efficiency. The study examines both local and international scientific sources, highlighting the potential of digital monitoring, remote sensing, AI-based yield forecasting, and “smart farming” systems in the context of Uzbekistan. Comparative analysis with advanced international practices demonstrates the benefits and challenges of digital technology adoption in farming. The findings show that digital tools can significantly contribute to water resource optimization, stable yield growth, and enhanced competitiveness of farms. The results of this research provide valuable insights for decision-making in agricultural management and accelerating digital transformation in the sector.
