4. IT’S APPLICATION
SMART IRRIGATION
LIVESTOCK MONITORING
WEATHER MONITORING AND
FORCASTING
REMOTE MONITORING SOIL QUALITY
CONTROL
GREENHOUSE MONITORING AND
AUTOMATION SYSTEM
5. AUTOMATED
GREENHOUSE
It can be used to grow plants under controlled climatic condition for
optimal production.
In order to control the climate factors and environment autonomously it
requires a computers/software equipment.
BENEFITS
45% decrease in use of pesticides,water
and energy.
60% less employment.
55% decrease in general spending.
65% more efficient method(modern &
faultless control method.
6. STATISTICAL DATA ON INDIAN
AGRICULTURE
54.6% of the Indian population engaged in
agriculture and allied activities.
60% land available for agriculture.(WORLD BANK
2015)
Contributes 17% to the country’s GROSS
DOMESTIC VALUE.
Agricultural sector is mainly dependent on
monsoon.
According to UN We need to boost worldwide food
production by 70% oto feed the population in
2050.
7. ADVANTAGES
Increased production by 40%.
Water conservation by 52%.
Lowered operation costs.
Complete control over the crops.
Quality of production.
Remote monitiring by government.
DISADVANTAGES
Initial capital costs may be high so it should be seen as a long
term investment.
It may take several years before you have sufficient data to fully
implement the system.
MAIN PROBLEM IN INDIA:Most of the farmers are illerates so
they are not able to use the modern machines
Overuse of machines may lead to environmental damage.
