What is Smart Agriculture?

It refers to managing farms using modern Information and communication technologies to increase the quantity and quality of products while optimizing the human labor required.

The technologies available for present-day farmers are:

1. Use of Sensors: 

  • To measure soil moisture.
  • Water required by a crop.
  • Measure luminosity required. 
  • Appropriate Humidity for Crops. 
  • Temperature management system.

2. Use of Software of  specialized software to find solutions that target specific farm types or applications of IoT platforms.

3. Mobile phones for Connectivity

4. Use of LoRa - ("long range") is a physical proprietary radio communication technique.

5. GPS and Satellite to track the location of the agricultural field.

6. Autonomous tractors and  processing facilities for higher production.

7. Application of Standalone analytics tools to combine data from multiple sources to solve complex problems.

8. Application of data pipelines for downstream solutions: A data pipeline is a set of tools and activities for moving data from one system with its method of data storage and processing to another system in which it can be stored and managed differently.

  Agricultural Sensors: How are they used in smart farming? Precision farming is a widely practised form of smart agriculture using IoT. This method of farming relies on data and analytics extracted from IoT sensors and devices that are placed on farm equipment and surveillance devices used in the process. There are different types of sensors used in agriculture and the most salient ones are air and soil sensors.   Types of Sensors Used In Agriculture The most prominently used modern tools and sensors used in agriculture sector in India are: Location Sensors Optical Sensors Electro-chemical sensors Mechanical Sensors Dielectric soil moisture sensors Airflow sensors Data collated from these sensors are thoroughly scrutinized to find data-driven insights and patterns that help farmers maximise yield and regulate their expenditure on irrigation, seeding, use of fertilizers, water consumption, electricity consumption and more. Location Sensors --  Location-based sensors help...

  Research Methodology: Your Guide to Finding Answers Introduction Imagine you’re trying to solve a puzzle. You have all the pieces spread out, but you don’t know where to start. This is kind of like research. It’s about figuring out how to put the pieces together to find the answer to a question. Research methodology is like the roadmap that guides you through this puzzle. It’s a step-by-step plan to find the information you need. Objective of Research Why do we research? Well, it’s like being curious about the world around you. We want to understand things better, solve problems, and find new ways to do things. The goal of research is to find answers to questions, test ideas, and add to our knowledge. It’s like exploring new lands and discovering hidden treasures. Features of a Good Research Study A good research study is like a well-cooked meal. It’s tasty, satisfying, and leaves you wanting more. So, what makes a research study good? Clear goal: Knowing what you're looking for...
