AI Advisory Suite

Intelligence at Every Stage

12 purpose-built AI models trained on agricultural data, local mandi prices, weather patterns, and soil science.

🧪
Soil Intelligence Engine
Interprets uploaded soil test reports (NPK, pH, organic carbon, micro-nutrients). Generates personalised amendment plans — which fertilisers, how much, when to apply. Tracks soil health improvement over seasons.
Soil TestsNPK AnalysisAmendment Plans
🌤️
Agro-Meteorology Advisor
Integrates IMD + OpenWeatherMap APIs. Translates weather forecasts into farm actions: "Delay irrigation — rain expected in 36h." Tracks cumulative rainfall vs crop water requirement. Alerts for frost, heat-stress, cyclone risk.
10-day ForecastRainfall TrackingSowing Window
🌾
Crop Recommendation Engine
Given soil type, location, season, and water availability — recommends best-fit crops with predicted yield, market price, and profitability ranking. Considers historical farm data + district-level mandi trends.
Crop SuitabilityYield PredictionProfit Ranking
🐛
Pest & Disease Detector
Photo-based plant disease detection (leaf upload → diagnosis in seconds). Probability maps for common pests by region and growth stage. Recommends organic and chemical interventions with dosage and safety intervals.
Image AIPest MapsIPM Protocols
💧
Irrigation Scheduler
Computes crop water requirements using FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. Adjusts schedule based on real-time weather and soil moisture sensors (IoT optional). Reduces water usage by 25–35% while maintaining yield.
ET0 CalculationSoil MoistureIoT-ready
📈
Mandi Price Forecaster
Fetches live AGMARKNET / e-NAM prices for 800+ commodities. Predicts price trajectory 30 days ahead using time-series ML. Advises on optimal sell timing — "Prices likely to rise 18% in 12 days — consider holding."
AGMARKNETe-NAMPrice Forecast
🛰️
Satellite Crop Health (NDVI)
Weekly NDVI analysis from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Detects patches of stress, water-logging, or poor germination early. Generates heatmaps overlaid on farm GPS boundaries. Available from Harvest tier upward.
Sentinel-2NDVI MapsStress Detection
💰
Cost Optimisation Engine
Benchmarks input costs against similar farms in the region. Identifies over-spend on fertiliser, labour, or water. Recommends substitutions (bio-fertiliser vs chemical). Projects break-even point and target yield for profitability.
Cost BenchmarkingBreak-evenInput Substitution
🏆
Farm Performance Scorer
Composite 100-point farm health score updated weekly. Dimensions: soil health, crop progress, cost efficiency, weather adaptation, and market timing. Enables contractor to rank and prioritise farm interventions.
