In this research,an intelligent agricultural device that monitors and predicts the health of plants during the growing season was designed, with the aim of protecting plants from damage and increasing the quantity and quality of agricultural crops, where an advanced technology, namely the Amazon Web Service, has been adopted that contributed to the design of the system. As a cloud platform, Mechine learning Rgression (RFR) for predicting the plants’ health was used with a simulation drone as an actuator to increase the efficiency of the designed system. The result indicates the high accuracy in predicating the plants' health throughout the growth season.
