Smart Agriculture Products | Bringing Smart Farming To Pakistan

Pakistani farmers were urged to follow the Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) approach to achieving food security and wider development goals in changing climate and rising demand for food. And to achieve this, farmers and entrepreneurs have inclined towards smart agriculture techniques.

Smart agriculture is the essence of modern farming. There are many methods introduced in agriculture to increase yield and increase production. Modern farming is growing and developing for the commercialization of crops.

What Is Smart Agriculture

Smart agriculture involves cultivation activities with the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), cameras and others to increase the farm’s profitability. Smart agriculture further tackles the interlinked problems of food security and climate change and supports smallholder farmers by improving the productivity of inputs such as energy, seeds, and fertilizers and increasing food security. Smart farming practices help protect natural resources for future generations by protecting ecosystems and landscapes.

Smart farming is a modern concept of farming that uses the internet, soil scanning, data management to increase production. Shade net and greenhouse farming is part of modern farming and is used extensively, supporting smart farming and helping to select the right farming method depending on weather or water requirements.

Mulch film can be considered when a soil test shows less moisture content and is a very good solution for plants requiring less water like bananas or strawberries.

Strategies To Achieve Smart Agriculture

Real-time data access and decision support is the basic approach to smart farming. It constitutes of:

  • Soil Moisture And Irrigation Management
  • Local Weather Data And Forecast
  • Automation
  • Insect Monitoring
  • On-Site Crop Monitoring
  • Soil Analysis
  • Fertility In The Soil
  • Disease Models

Techniques Used in Smart Farming

  • Monitoring Of Climate Conditions

With the Internet of Things, smart agriculture enables farmers to better collect data on weather conditions, which holds a wealth of benefits. Better weather data enables farmers to avoid overwatering or underwatering, crop disease, and unnecessary field time.

Farm dynamics Pakistan deals with Pessl Instruments i.e., an on-farm climate & weather monitoring system offering efficient and real-time monitoring.

  • Greenhouse Automation

Greenhouse automation refers to the technology produced to optimize the behavior of the greenhouse mounted technological installations. The greenhouse machine not only provides the best circumstances for your plant to grow, but dramatically reduces operating expenses by taking into account the costs of these remedies.

Trapview is a renowned automated pest monitoring system that reduced spray cost and offers easy data sharing.

  • Crop Management

Crop management is the set of agricultural techniques used to improve crop growth, development, and yield. The combination, spacing, and order of the activities used depends on the crop’s biological characteristics (whether winter or spring crops), the cultivated shape (grains, green feed, and so on), sowing methods (row, circle, or wide-row), plant size, and soil, landscape, and weather conditions.

Use the latest precision technology to fine-tune your farming operation. Hilling, suckering, pinching and chopping are special crop management practices for individual crops. Other field practices include crop irrigation and mechanical, biological, and chemical methods for weed control, pest control, and disease control.

Benefits Of Smart Agriculture Products

Increased Production

Optimized crop treatment such as accurate planting, watering, application, and harvesting of pesticides has a direct impact on production rates.

Water Conservation

Predictions of the weather and sensors of soil moisture allow water use only when and where necessary.

Real-Time Data and Production Insight

Farmers can visualize real-time and remote production levels, soil moisture, sunlight intensity, and more to accelerate decision-making processes.

Lower Operation Costs

Automating operations can reduce resource consumption, human error, and overall cost in planting, processing, and harvesting.

Increased Quality of Production

Analyzing the quality of production and resulting in care comparison will help farmers to change procedures to improve product quality.

Accurate Farm And Field Analysis

Accurate field-by-field tracking over time allows accurate estimation of a farm’s expected crop yield and quality.

Enhanced Livestock Farming

Detectors and devices can be used earlier in livestock to track reproductive and health events.

Reduced Environmental Footprint

The environmental footprint is positively affected by all conservation efforts such as water use and increased production per unit of land.

Remote Monitoring

Local and commercial farmers from an internet connection can monitor multiple fields from multiple locations around the globe. It is possible to make decisions in real-time and from everywhere.

Equipment Monitoring

Agricultural equipment can be tracked and managed based on production levels, energy productivity and estimation of failure.
