Objective

• Precision Agriculture Project aims to:

• Reduce Cost of fertilizer used by farmers by providing timely and accurate

information

• Capture the tacit knowledge of framers and plantation managers to ensure

that best practices are followed

• Build crop model for High Value Vegetables, Cash Crop and Industry Crop

Scope• Develop a Knowledge Exchange Portal for sharing information across different

crop stakeholder, government agencies and farmers.

• Use of technologies, such as

• Sensors

• Satellites images & weather information

• Data Mining

• Geographical Information System (GIS)

• Management Information System (MIS)

to access and understand variations.

• Use Semantic Technology to develop a Crop Model that will be used by the

Decision Support System (DSS) to make:

• Management Decision such as

• optimum sowing density

• estimate fertilizers

• accurately predict crop yields

• Alerts

• Automation

IT in Agriculture

Key factors to consider:

• How to adjust software to the special features of agricultural information;

• How to enrich digital contents;

• How to utilize the Internet, especially to reduce time and monetary costs;

• How to provide easy-to-use systems for computer literacy;

• How to convince farmers of the potential benefits of IT
