As several major players in the industry are expanding their business by adopting different tactics such as mergers & acquisitions, expansions, collaborations and product launches. Indian agricultural sector is expected to expand even more in the years to come. The technical revolution still does not impact agriculture or agriculture, but it is ready for reform and gives farmers opportunities to adapt different modern technological equipment and methods to make it smarter in the future. We identify 7 ‘Made in India’ solutions by Padgilwar Corporation for farmers across India here in this blog.
- The Sensors for Soil and Water
Soil and water sensors are the tools with the most direct effects. The sensors are resilient, unobtrusive and reasonably economical. For farmers, this has been seen to be useful, since these sensors may detect humidity and nitrogen levels, and the farmer can use this knowledge to decide the watering and implantation schedule instead of depending on a preset schedule.It contributes to more productive resource usage and thereby decreased costs, which also allows farming activities to be more environmentally sustainable by saving water, decreasing erosion and lowering nutrient levels in local rivers and reservoirs.
- Accessibility of Weather Forecasts
Computerized models for weather forecasts have been highly reliable and sophisticated. There are a range of online weather services focused solely on agriculture, and farmers can access these services on dedicated channels, such as via mobile applications running on any user device. This technology will provide farmers with ample weather data, such as frost, hail and rain, so that they can take measures to protect crops or at least substantially reduce losses.
- Farm Satellite Imagery
Remote satellite photography, which makes real-time crop imagery, has been more innovative. These are not only snapshots of an aerial perspective, but pictures at 5-meter-pixel resolutions and much higher. Crop imagery allows a farmer to analyse crops on a weekly basis by analysing images, which will save a farm a large amount of time and resources. In addition, this technology can be combined with crop, soil and water sensors so that, when danger levels are detected, farmers can obtain alerts along with accurate satellite images.
- Manual workload elimination by Pervasive Automation
In the smart farming industry, ubiquitous automation is a common concept that can refer to any technology that decreases the workload of the operator. Examples include robotically or remotely operated autonomous vehicles via terminals and hyper-precision, such as RTK (real-time kinematic) navigation systems that optimise seeding and fertilisation routes.
- Minichromosomal Plant cell technology
A minichromosomal is a tiny structure that holds very few genetic material inside a cell but can retain a lot of genetic information. Agricultural geneticists will apply thousands and maybe even hundreds of characteristics to a plant by using minichromosome. These characteristics, such as drought resistance and nitrogen use, can be very complex. The most intriguing thing about minichromosomal technology, however, is that the primary chromosomes of a plant are in no way changed. That leads to faster regulatory approval and broader, faster market acceptance.
- RFID Technology
A basis for traceability has been laid by the soil and water sensors explained above. These sensors provide knowledge that can be related to yields from farming. In reality, certain anticipated innovations such as RFID can be tagged on a farm produce bag where a barcode can be scanned from your smartphone in order to access the soil information that created them.
- Vertical Farming method
In the past, vertical farming seemed unimaginable, but this technique is now a viable part of the practise of urban agriculture for food production in vertically stacked layers. This has multiple benefits, such as the potential to flourish in urban areas and therefore make fresher crops available more easily and at lower prices. Vertical cultivation, however, is not confined to urban areas only, but is often opted for by farmers in hilly habitats.
Conclusion
Technology is changing almost every part of current farming activities, opening a new frontier for farmers to use smart farming methods, making it no longer a boring task. Due to these cutting-edge developments in agriculture, food production has improved and is now quicker, fresher and more cost-effective at the table.
