In traditional agriculture, a schedule is predetermined considering factors such as rainfall, suitable weather, etc. and all tasks are performed in order accordingly. Despite their efforts, farmers face difficulty in making proper decisions due to lack of essential information at appropriate time. Thus, it is required to collect real time data on weather, air quality, and soil fertility and even on availability of labour and essential capital investment in total and analytical predictions, to make ingenious decisions.
