Water is a depleting resource and growing water demand has raised serious concern to the future of irrigated agriculture in many parts of the world.905 of fresh water is being used for agriculture purpose , out of which 60% to 70% is lost to over irrigation, evaporation, deep percolation and so. This not only leads to water wastage, but it also impacts the agricultural yield, electricity wastage and increases labour cost. Therefore, the knowledge of crop water demand is an important practical consideration to improve the water use efficiency in irrigation practices. Changing environmental conditions and shortage of water have led to the need for a system which efficiently manages irrigation of fields. The other problem which is seen is diseases in plants which causes major production and economic losses as well as reduction in both quality and quantity of agricultural products. Viewing these problem, AgSmartic was founded in 2017 with a mission to help the farmers improving their life by increasing their farm yield, reducing wastage of resources by designing a system that eliminates the direct involvement of the farmer with respect to irrigation of their fields. AgSmartic designed a product called CROPLYTICS® which is an autonomous irrigation system uses solar based wireless soil moisture sensor data, satellite images, ET, crop life cycle to come up with a precise irrigation plan. Therefore a new approach of collecting real time data from the field by using soil moisture sensor offers real potential for reliably monitoring soil water status in agriculture fields. Artificial intelligence can help farmers to get more from the land while using resources more sustainable. Our system brings technological innovation by automating the irrigation and helping in detecting pests through computer vision. It provides ways to mitigate the problem and thereby helping farmers to ease the technical know-how through use of advanced technology IMPACT The overall system is helping in saving water, electricity and labor cost. We have been able to save 20% of water and 15% of electricity through our innovation and the percentage is likely to increase in coming days. The ease of implementation and ease to operate the device remotely though app is proving a blessing to our farmers. End User's Testimonials 1. Name of the farmer : Jagdev Singh Location Hoshiarpur, Punjab Throughout the day, we wasted our time, water and electricity which started getting on our nerves and we wanted some change desperately. The main benefits that we have been able to get are that the technology helps us to save all the elements we were wasting before. We can now save our time by having easy pump access on our mobile phones. Also, save water and electricity by using the pump only when required. The main improvement needed is that we should also know how much water or for how much time should the pump stay on. This would in return help us save water and electricity even further. Currently we are impressed by this and hence, we surely would like to use this in the future. 2.Name of the farmer : Roop Singh Location Hoshiarpur, Punjab The main challenge was to be around the motor and the irrigation system always which used to take up most of our time and we were not able to extend our revenues due to lack of time. The technology has finally aimed at saving our time by helping us access our motors via our mobile phones. This has helped us in saving our time, water as well as electricity. There are 2 improvements that I believe can be inculcated. Firstly, we should be notified whether 3 phase electricity is available or not. Secondly, the exact water requirement of the field so that we can turn off the irrigation system when the requirement gets fulfilled. Though the technology can be improved I believe it still provides and helps us with the pump motors and hence, I would like to use it further. 3..Name of the farmer : Deepak Kumar Location Hoshiarpur, Punjab Before I started using this technology, I had to be around the farm all day during irrigation and we had to run in order to close the motor in case the water starts overflowing. The technology has brought about a big relief because with the help of the application I now can easily turn on and turn off the motor as and when I wish to do so. Though it has provided us with a relief, I think the technology can be made better if we also start receiving a message for power outage because we do not really get to know when the irrigation system stops. If the above stated improvement is allotted, I will most definitely use the technology in long term because it takes away a lot of our time and stress which can be used on other important work. 4.Name of the farmer: Jagdish Singh Location Hoshiarpur, Punjab Earlier, we manually had to go and turn on the system which was tiring and then we also had to stay until the farm is irrigated so that the water does not overflow and the motor is switched off in time. There was also uncertainty regarding the water requirement for every crop. Due to the advent of the technology, now we are saving a lot of water and electricity because we are able to turn on and turn off the motor as and when we want to using the mobile application. This has resulted into lower electricity bills and has helped us on cutting down our cost of inputs too. The electricity in our village goes frequently and hence, it becomes important that we also get notified when power outages go so that we can schedule the irrigation accordingly. Even if the power outage notifications are not inculcated, I am still willing to continue using this technology
