Maharashtra Using Satellite Imagery, Artificial Intelligence For Better Crop Yield IndianWeb2.com

Maharashtra has put into action Artificial Intelligence to alleviate agricultural hazards by making use of analysed data to fill in any clefts. The project so named, is the Maha Agri Tech project and had become operational in January this year. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) being employed in the first phase are the satellite images, based on mining data together from by the Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre (MRSAC) and the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) in Hyderabad. Moving on to its second phase, (in the upcoming rabid season) a yield model would be constructed wherein, data sets from different data providers will be amalgamated to create a territorial database of soil nutrients, rainfall, moisture stress and a few other relevant factors. This as a consequence will promote location specific consultation to farmers.
