In a remarkable leap towards agricultural innovation, E-Crop Based Smart Farming (E-CBSSF) has emerged as an Internet of Things (IoT) tool that combines scientific expertise with real-time weather and soil data. Developed by Dr. Santosh Mithra, the leading scientist at ICAR-Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, this technology provides insights to cultivate the right crops at the right time, ensuring optimal yield. By leveraging E-CBSSF, farmers can efficiently supply essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and water to their crops, enhancing their growth.
Benefits of E-Farming
In an age where technology is key to addressing agricultural challenges, E-Farming holds immense promise. This innovative technique not only reduces pollution but also contributes to maintaining a healthier climate. With the aid of E-Farming, crops can receive the right fertilization and proper irrigation at the right stages of growth. This approach proves to be significantly more beneficial compared to traditional farming methods.
Implementing E-CBSSF: The Path to Smart Crop Nutrition
E-CBSSF utilizes its AI technology to send smart fertilization instructions through text messages, facilitating an advanced crop fertilization technique known as E-Crop Fertilization. The system decodes these messages and dispenses nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and water to crops from relevant containers, based on the specified quantities in the messages.
By harnessing the power of E-Farming, agriculture is not only becoming more productive but also more sustainable, marking a positive shift towards a greener and prosperous future.
