Abstract
A decision support system for precision farming is designed to assist farmers, agricultural experts, research workers or any intellectuals with guidance in making various farming related decisions and help them to access, display and analyze data that have geographic content and meaning. The concept of precision farming is not only related with the use of technologies but it is also about the five R’s that is use of right input (nutrients, water, fertilizer, money, machinery etc.), at the right time, at the right place, in the right amount and in the right manner. There is need to have accurate information and suitable decisions regarding the right inputs required for the farming practices and to initiate the step towards the precision farming. DSS calculates irrigation requirement of crops. In this paper, Maps that are shown generated with the help of ArcGIS software (ArcMap tool). The system has been developed using Hypertext Pre Processor (PHP) at front end and MySQL at back end.
Highlights
A decision support system for precision farming is designed to assist farmers, agricultural experts, research workers or any intellectuals with guidance in making various farming related decisions and help them to access, display and analyze data that have geographic content and meaning
The development of decision support system for precision farming requires the comprehensive backup from database about basic resources being used in agriculture
There cannot be any further precision in agriculture without the availability of database pertaining to the variability in soil, types of crops, important commodities handled, land holding patterns and classification, quality of underground water available, category of blocks according to geographic and climatic characteristics, irrigation requirement of crops under standard conditions or other factors associated with different aspects of agricultural production system
Summary
A decision support system for precision farming is designed to assist farmers, agricultural experts, research workers or any intellectuals with guidance in making various farming related decisions and help them to access, display and analyze data that have geographic content and meaning. Keeping in view the need of farmers and researchers to collect important and updated information for interactive, flexible and quick decision-making, a model of decision support system for precision farming is developed. The proposed decision support system for precision farming is developed to provide the accurate information or data and to have right decisions.
