E-Crop Based Smart Farming (e-CBSF) is an Internet of Things (IoT) gadget that uses scientific technology to monitor weather and soil conditions and deliver information to produce the best crop possible. Dr. Santosh Mithra, Principal Scientist at the ICAR-CTCRI in Thiruvananthapuram, created this method. With the use of this machinery, agriculture can create a strong yield while meeting the demands of field crops for nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and water.

Advantages of smart farming based on e-crops

The use of technology in agriculture is very important in the modern day. This technique can help keep the environment clean and contribute to a stable climate. This enables fertigation, which promotes timely plant development while also supplying the appropriate quantity of water and fertilizer. Comparing this strategy to conventional farming, it is far more advantageous.

Using the e-CBSF

The smart fertigation system receives the needs of this e-crop fertigation technology through text messages thanks to its AI technology. The system decodes the signals and feeds the plants the appropriate amounts of water, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from the appropriate containers.

All of these components are then sent to the mixing room, where they are combined with water and distributed to the crops through drip sprinklers. The greatest feature of this technology is that you may use a mobile device to access it from anywhere in the globe. All crops, including bananas, sweet potatoes, and cassava, may be grown using this method. Compared to conventional farming, it provides a 50% higher output.
