Abstract

Indian most of the population is dependent on agriculture. However, there is also need to review
and revitalize the mechanism for updating the technology. In the upcoming years agriculture will
see major changes. The large amount of crop is getting damage in the field due to the bacterial
attacks and lack of information resources. Annually, such loss exceeds 40% in total. So, the
paper presented here suggest various ways in which a farmer can utilize on their handsets using
application called “Crop Harvest”, to assist them for relatively better cultivation and
merchandise Our proposed Crop Harvest application will provides the details about customer and
farmer and also it avoids the third party buyer problem which cause problem for farmers. Crop
Harvest is a android based application which provides information to farmers regarding different
crops and farming practices and other agricultural products. It is dynamic and interactive to take
in the feedback and other input from the end users and can guide people regarding the different
procedures that need to be adopted. This project shows a simulation of live environment which
takes different aspects into consideration like market-demanding-supply, production forecast,
fertilizer preferences etc.

great amount of labor and various activities to go through for conducting farming.

2.Existing System:

Now a days, Indian agriculture is based on developing country. Information dissemination to the
knowledge intensive agriculture sector is upgraded by mobile-enabled information services and
rapid growth of mobile telephony. It bridges the gap between the availability of agricultural input
and delivery of agricultural outputs and agriculture infrastructure. Apart from this, they are also
useful in our day-to-day activities such as education, medical and agriculture. It explores how
Android app of agricultural services have impacted the farmers in their farming activities.

2.1. Disadvantages of existing system:

In existing system, they use traditional farming method • Traditional farming needs great amount
of labor and various activities to go through for conducting farming. farming techniques using
android application are doesn‟t done a lot quickly which brings in more profit for farmers.

• This system is very slow.

• Third party may give less amount of money for farmers.

3.Proposed system:

In comparison to the present system the proposed system will be dynamic, precise and provides
complete information related to crop production, methods, technology, tools and crop protection.
It also provides facility to chat with agriculture expert. User and technical person need to be
registered in order to access information provided by the admin. Registration provides
authentication to the user/technical. Technical expert and user can have discussion. This helps
the user to have even much more clarity about the things that they want. After student can login
to their respective profile with the help of username and password where they are updated with
crop information. If in case, admin feels that registered profile is not genuine, he can deactivate
the profile at any time.

5.3. Result And Analysis:

Farming is becoming a more time-critical and information-intense business. A push towards

higher productivity will require an information-based decision-making agricultural system.
Farmers must be getting information at the right time and place. Research in Sri Lanka recently
found that the cost of information from planting decision to selling at the wholesale market can

make up to 11% of total production costs. The study also found that information asymmetry is an
important contributor to overall transaction costs (De Silva and Ratnadiwakara, 2008). ICT, and
in particular mobile technologies, are often seen as a ‗game changer „in smallholder agriculture.
Increasing smallholder productivity and incomes, making agricultural markets more efficient and
transparent. Linking poor farmers to urban, regional and global markets improving services and
governance for the rural poor promoting and including smallholders in agricultural innovation.

7.Conclusion
Our Android app is to enhance transparency in the agriculture commodity marketplace by
providing market price information, facilitating collective buying of inputs and collective selling
of produce. Also, we facilitate SMS service which send the crop information to their phone over
message service. Area-based customer selection is also there in our application. This will reduce
the role of middlemen who are hindering the trading sector in the agriculture. This app is free of
cost and can be accessed from anywhere and made available in understandable language to
farmers. And the data of the farmers and customers are stored in database. This agriculture app is
very useful for Indian farmers and agriculture community which keep up to date with the latest
technology of agriculture. These apps provide help to Indian farmers and fill the information gap
between the rural people and Govt with rural development. This is an Android app for Indian
farmers used for agriculture which provides the latest market rates, weather forecasting, Govt
policies and schemes for farmers, news related to agriculture, information of each soil,
information about each farming product.
7.1.Future Scope:
Information technology will make a huge difference in the ability of farmers to link to markets.
It‟s already enabling local producers to supply consumers in their region, thus reducing storage
and transport costs. However, it also opens the path to access of global markets from anywhere.
This enhancement can be achieved my making further modifications keeping the approach and
techniques used for this project. We can add more information about different crops and soils.We
can build an e-commerce application where people can buy the products directly from farmers.
