Mobile Based Agricultural Management System for Indian Farmers

Farm-n-Pedia: Expert mobile agricultural knowledge-based system for Indian Farmers

“…Not only this, but the crowdsourced data also gets accumulated in the knowledge-based system for future referencing and to assist other farmers. We propose integrating the agricultural KBS system model (Sran et al, 2020) with social media features to make the mobile application more interactive for the farmers and add the much needed real-time approach. It aims to have databases from inline advisory systems of the Indian government and certified websites to provide personalized solutions to the farmers' concerns.…”

“…This technology is very much needed because many Indian farmers are having less yield per hectare due to unfavourable weather conditions caused by climate change (Sran et al, 2020). This application enables farmers to keep track of crop production and make informed decisions for timely crop harvesting.…”

“…With the application, the farmers can record land profits and keep notes on the app's virtual farm simulation as they move around the fields. The data will be saved in the app cloud and linked with the farm coordinates using the geolocation algorithm (Sran et al, 2020). Cloud data can ultimately be converted into graphical representation to better understand agricultural productivity (Information Solutions, 2015).…”

“…The question is: How easy and how accessible is the technological upgradations for the farmers? People often misjudge agriculture as an easy practice, but it requires high precision and knowledge (Sran et al, 2020). However, the agricultural sector employs many people with low literacy levels and often have little knowledge about farming practices.…”
