Executive Summary : | AI-driven technologies are emerging to help in improving the efficiency with respect to crop and soil management, weather forecasting, forecasting of crop disease and pest infestation and predictive agricultural analytics.The project intends to develop methodology / procedure on digital platform in developing large data base of agricultural fields and farming systems including cost/benefit as well as soil constrains to analyse their suitability for various crops. Software's need to be developed for allocation of field of suitable crops to optimize yield for diversification of agriculture. Temporal UAV images will be obtained to identify soil fertility constrains and to recommend nutrients applications to maximize crop yield. Different AI/ML algorithms can be used to develop module to analyse suitability of different crops/cropping system and to suggest crop selection for optimizing crop yield with cost benefit ratio. |
