Synopsis

In the agricultural domain, the main challenge is to present the new information and research to the farmers so that they can leverage the power of ICT to improve their agricultural practices and there by the production. An Agro advisory system helps to bridge the gap between farmers and the agriculture domain experts. The system consists of three basic components: Ontology, Web Services, and Mobile Application Development. The ontology maintains domain knowledge required for answering farmer queries. The ontology contains information regarding crop, soil, cultivation process, disease, pest, and other relevant information. This paper discusses about the Agro Advisory system, survey related to it and some of the applications and benefits regarding Agricultural Application based on Android.
