disease, pesticides, etc. We are motivated to develop an expert advisory system to provide such information to the cotton farmers of Maharashtra in order solve their queries and thereby improve the overall cotton production.
Abstract - In current agricultural scenario, the main aim of
agricultural experts to provide proper up-to-date information to the farmers so that they can efficiently utilize the given information to improve their agricultural practices and thereby increase the production. The huge amount of agricultural data is generated from the different sources which have to be handled efficiently. By the use of ICT we can handle this data generated from different sources and can build knowledge based system to provide experts advices to the farmers. An agricultural advisory system presented in this paper aims to build the gap between cotton farmers of Indian state Maharashtra and experts in agriculture domain. The system maintains knowledge like soil information, weather data, crop disease, pesticides, etc. for cotton crop and it is collected from different sources. The system consists of three core components such as - Web Ontology, Web Services and Android Mobile Application.
3. EXISTING SYSTEM During literature survey we found existing agriculture advisory systems like Kisan Suvidha, eSagu, mKrishi, Kisan Vikas, Krishi Mantra.
3.1 Kisan Suvidha Kisan Suvidha is developed by Department of Agriculture Cooperation and Farmers Welfare Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Govt. of India. It is an omnibus mobile application developed to help farmers by providing relevant information to them quickly. It provides weather information, IPM practices, plant protection, etc.
Key Words: Web Ontology, Web Services, Android Application, RESTful Services, Web Ontology Language, Semantic Web, Advisory System.
3.2 eSagu eSagu is an IT-based agro advisory system developed by IIIT, Hyderabad and Media Labs Asia. It aims to improve farm productivity by providing appropriate advice to each farmer.
1. INTRODUCTION In India, Maharashtra is the largest producer of cotton. Approximately 27% of total cotton is produced in Maharashtra. Our aim is to build a knowledge based advisory system to help cotton farmers in Maharashtra to improve production of cotton even more. The system has user friendly GUI and provides services like weather information, disease prediction, pesticides recommendations, etc.The knowledge base is developed using Web Ontology Language (OWL), web services are developed in REST, and Android Application developed to provide easy to use User Interface (UI) to the farmer.
3.3 mKrishi mKrishi is a mobile based advisory system developed by TCS group. It provides the agro advices to the farmer with audiovideo facilities on a mobile phone.
3.4 Kisan Vikas Kisan Vikas is Android based ICT solution in Indian agriculture to assist farmers. It is developed by IIT, Mandi. It provides essential agriculture related information like govt. helplines, weather forecasts, news, market prices, etc.
2. MOTIVATION
3.5 Krishi Mantra
India is a second largest producer of the cotton worldwide and in India, Maharashtra is a largest producer of the cotton. Production of the cotton plays a significant role in Indian economy as Indian economy is still highly based on agriculture productions. The large amount of data related to agriculture like soil information, weather details, etc are being gathered from different sources like sensors. This information have to be provided to the farmer in efficient way to solve their queries regarding to the crop, weather,
