Abstract

An intensive implementation of Information and Communication Technologies is highly required for greater beneficiary in agriculture. To achieve this in a sustainable way, implementation of ICT-based technology in precision farming at the earliest is required. More specifically, Indian farming requires efficient usage of fertilizer recommendations for each crop type at time intervals during the harvesting period. India needs to go mature in taking agriculture technology a bit further by using technologies like Multi-model decision support system, GPS (Global Positioning System), GIS (Geographic Information System) Cloud, Spatial data analytics, and various other technological wonders. This paper proposes a best available edge cutting and benefiting ICT initiatives by using cloud-based web GIS, Mobile, and Kiosk in fertilizer recommendations for precision farming and primarily aiming at the soil health in Indian agriculture.
