What is Precision Agriculture

Chapter 7
Fuzzy Expert Systems and Applications in Agricultural Diagnosis
It is also known as satellite agriculture. All the pertinent information like water level, soil quality, air quality, temperature, etc. are gathered in real time. The modern technologies analyze this information and encourage the needed substances for better efficiency.

Abstract
Agriculture is an important sector in many developing countries, but the traditional methods are not sufficient to produce a good amount of crop. Moreover, the natural calamities are also destroying a large portion of the crop. Hence, this chapter proposes a prototype model, AgriHelp, to address an agricultural issue using fuzzy logic. The model takes two parameters as input: when and where the farmer wants to sow the crop. Using this information along with available dataset, AgriHelp extracts the expected min-max temperature, rainfall and soil type in the region in the specified season and suggests the best-suited crop to the farmer. The model can further be extended by incorporating more features.
