SOIL FERTILITY TESTING!
Problem Statement:- Unable to determine suitable crop as per the soil quality.
Current Practice:-
Currently soil testing in India is not easy,
farmers have to take Soil samples to
laboratory and wait for the analysis of soil.
Then after few days they get detailed soil
report and recommendation like which
crops will be suitable for the cultivation or
proper use of fertilizers for the soil. All this
process currently is manual and
cumbersome and time consuming

How our product will solve problem:-
Our product will help farmers in getting the soil
testing done using a device which can be
available to masses at cheaper price and will be
equipped with IOT. It will connect to any
smartphone using an Mobile App and provide
detailed reports of nutrients available in the soil.
With the help of AI and data science app would
suggest which kind of crop, vegetables and even
fruits can be cultivated.

 How It will Work!

To process the results and provide recommendation for the particular soil type, we will be using AI
and data science to determine which crops or vegetables or fruit plants it will be suitable for.

It will also provide the recommendation if you want to cultivate a specific crop and if the soil is
deprived of few nutrients which can be supplied using fertilizer. So app will determine accurately
how much fertilizers to be used thus preventing use of excessive fertilizers.

Database which will be maintaining the details of crops, will be updated regularly based on the
feedback from farmers and app will learn from it which is best possible combination of crop and type
of soil nutrients for best cultivation results using AI techniques.

So the app will be learning continuously from the feedbacks of farmers and will modify the
recommendation based on previous results.

Also app will suggest for crop rotation on the basis of previous crops and which crop will be better
suited after cultivation is done for first crop.

 MEASURE OF CHOSEN SOLUTION!

• App will keep track of crop once it is cultivated and will be taking continuous feedback from
farmers, so based on the feedback we will come to know if the crop is growing normally or
not.
• If the crop is not growing as per the expectations app will suggest farmers to check again the
soil nutrients.
• And based on the results and age of the crop app will provide information if the nutrients are
adequate and in case nutrients or moisture of soil are not as per specification they can use
fertilizers or water to fill up those nutrients .
• These feedback will serve as the database for our application and will keep on learning from
the feedbacks and will provide the updated solution using AI techniques.
• Alerts will be sent to customer on continuous basis so that they keep track of their crop.

 REASON FOR SOLUTION TO FAIL!

• Our solution can fail in case of some

unavoidable reasons like heavy rains or
hailstorms or thunderstorms.

• This solution also can fail in case of crop

weed which can consume the nutrient need
by crop and keep crop deprived of those
nutrients

 BENEFITS!

Benefits:-
• Increases productivity by identifying soil nutrients
• Or soil chemical factors that are limiting plant growth.
• Increases fertilizer use efficiency by indicating appropriate rates for different soils and crops.
• Protects the environment by preventing over fertilization.
• Identifies polluted or contaminated soils.
