USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE

PRESENTED BY AVISHEK BHATTACHARYYA MBA-II (SEPTEMBER 2010-2012)

REASON BEHIND SELECTION OF TOPIC

Agriculture or farming is the backbone of Indias economy, as two-thirds of the population live in rural areas and depend (directly or indirectly) on agriculture for a living. It can be observed that compared to the yield in other countries, yield of several crops in India is significantly low. the yield falls. Hence it is necessary to find solutions that improve the chances of crop success.

INTRODUCTION
In spite of successful research on new agricultural practices concerning crop cultivation, majority of the farmers are not getting upper-bound yield due to several reasons We propose the framework for a cost-effective agricultural information dissemination system to disseminate expert agricultural knowledge to the farming community in order to improve crop productivity. It aims to provide expert advice which is crucial to the Indian farmer to harvest different kinds of crop varieties based on the demand in the world market. According to above instruction we can very well establish the relationship between the information technology and computer related services with the farmers who are working hard in their farm

APPLICATION OF IT

PASSIVE USE OF I.T IN AGRICULTURE

PROCESS OF DATA MAINTAINENCE & ACCESSING

AGRIDS : AGRICULTURE INFORMATION DISSMINATION SYSTEM

DISTRIBUTION OF DATA

ACTIVE USE OF I.T. IN AGRICULTURE

1. SEEDS DEVELOPMENT
Remote management of grain storage facility for high quality of agricultural products. Remote environmental monitoring system via the Internet.

Real-time monitoring and analysis of temperature variation in the storage facility

Collection and distribution of crop growth stage information and pest information using GPS (Global Positioning System)

2. SOIL DEVELOPMENT
Technology is dramatically increasing the amount of land each farmer can work effectively. Using the GPS vocational device and sensors in the field, farmers can harvest, along with their crops, detailed digital maps of their fields. Precise application reduces waste and improves yield

3.WEATHER FORCASTING

CONCLUSION
We believe that, particularly in the case of agriculture, there is a great potential to benefit from IT . The framework for an IT-based agricultural information dissemination system is proposed. By exploiting progress in IT. It can be rightly stated that though Information Technology in the agriculture is in growing stage in the Indian context IT will be one of the most important areas in the near future for agricultural development
