KisanSAT is a satellite-based agriculture service that provides 9 different types of services to farmers across India through a single android mobile app, this service is provided by under Click-N-Grow Agroventures Pvt Ltd based at Akola, Maharashtra in the name of KisanSAT. The purpose of this service is to facilitate the day-to-day agricultural work of the farmers and also to save the valuable time of the farmers. This app will help farmers in doing progressive farming. Farmers from all over India can avail the following services by installing this app from Google Play Store in smartphones -
1) Soil testing (analysis of soil nutrients - N, P, K, pH, OC)
The cumbersome and time-consuming process of soil macronutrient testing for each and every farm will be done with Sat2Farm easily without much hustle and will be readily available with the farmer himself for reference. This will help in determining the extent of crop nutrient deficiency and come up with remedies that would benefit the nutrient uptake in crops, hence increasing the overall crop yield.
2) Forecast of pests and diseases in crops,
Based on factors such as RH, temperature, and other agronomic parameters, warnings are provided to the farmers of pest/disease outbreaks and along with-it suitable control measures are also suggested. This feature enhances the preparedness of the farmer to withstand potential pest/disease threats.
3) Crop Heath Monitoring,
Monitor the crop health in your farms by getting indices like NDVI, EVI, RVI, etc. to exactly identify the location of the crisis to focus on the most important issue on the farm rather than scouting all around the field.
4) Optimal Irrigation Requirement Estimation,
Determine whether a particular soil is moisture deficient or not and helps in planning the irrigation needs for obtaining satisfactory yields. The irrigation advisory provided will not only help the farmers in planning their irrigation needs but will also benefit the farmers by ensuring minimum wastage of water resources ensuring more yield per drop of irrigation water.
5) Scientific Crop Calendar,
Specific and recommended packages of practice are available at all times for each of the crops grown to ensure timely farm operations and reduce the risk of overutilizing valuable farm resources like inputs, irrigation water, pesticides, fungicides, etc.
6) Satellite-Based Soil Moisture Estimation,
Helps the farmers in locating the potential surface water available for the crop uptake in their entire field and in deciding the type of crop that can be grown in the soil. It also helps the farmers in deciding the right irrigation water management strategies and the right system of irrigation to be used considering the available water content over a period of time.
7) Weather Forecasting,
Get the next 15 days’ weather forecast and plan your farming activities (e.g., sowing, harvesting) accordingly.
8) Land Area Mapping,
With the help of satellite data, get the area of a farm within minutes in the locally used units like Bigha/Gunta as well as Hectares.
9) Identification of Pests and Disease Infestation.
Through the camera feature available in the application, the farmers are provided timely advice. Helps the farmers in rightly identifying the type of infestation or infection and get data on the right pest and disease control mechanisms to be used to avoid considerable loss in yield and quality of the produce.
