 Remote Sensing
What is Remote sensing?
#Remote sensing in agriculture refers to the use of various technologies, such as satellites, drones,
and aircraft equipped with sensors, to collect information about crops and the environment from a
distance.

Use of remote sensing in agriculture

#Crop monitoring - By analyzing satellite or drone imagery, farmers can identify areas of stress,
disease outbreaks, nutrient deficiencies, or pest infestations early on, enabling them to intervene.
#Yield estimation - Remote sensing can help estimate crop yields by analyzing vegetation derived
from satellite or aerial imagery.
#Soil mapping and analysis - Remote sensing techniques can be used to map soil properties such as
moisture content, texture, and fertility across agricultural fields.
#Water management - Remote sensing can assist in monitoring water resources by detecting leaks
in irrigation systems, and assessing crop water stress.
#Precision agriculture - Remote sensing technologies enable precision agriculture techniques,
where inputs such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides are applied with precision according to the
specific needs of different parts of a field.

 RAWE Introduction

-RAWE represents more than just a curriculum component; it is a

hands-on odyssey into the heart of rural agricultural practices,providing us with a
unique opportunity to cultivate skills, nurture a profound connection to the land,
and embrace the challenges and triumphs inherent in the agricultural realm.

-The program not only imparts technical skills but also instills a sense of
responsibility towards environmental stewardship and community development.
Participants emerge not only as skilled agriculturists but also as advocates for the
harmonious coexistence of rural communities and the agricultural ecosystems they
depend on.
 Animal Husbandry
Animal husbandry involves the care, breeding, and management of livestock for various
purposes, such as meat, milk, wool, and other products.

Problems faced by cattle breed in India

-Delayed maturity
-Repeat breeding
-Dystopia
-Retention of placenta
-The main cause of these problems is due to lack
of nutrients such as Zn, Si, Co, Mn, Cu.
-This results in reduced productivity and increase
in expense
 AZOLLA

-It has more than 20% protein content

-It is used as non conventional feed in poultry and

cattle farm

- It is also known as green gold

- In cattle feed when mixed with other feed in 15-
20% causes milk to increase by 11-12%

- 15-20 gram azolla culture can produce 10-15kg azolla

every 15 days in an artificial pond

- In poultry feed , 12% azolla is mixed with feed and

given as dry feed
 Poultry farming
Poultry farming involves the rearing of domesticated birds, primarily chickens, ducks, turkeys, and
geese, for the purpose of meat and egg production.
1. Types of Poultry Farming:
Broiler Farming: Focuses on raising chickens for meat production.
Layer Farming: Concentrates on raising hens for egg production.
Dual-Purpose Farming: Involves raising birds for both meat and egg production.
2. Housing and Infrastructure:
Broiler Houses: Designed for optimal growth and efficiency, providing controlled
environmental conditions.
Layer Houses: Equipped with nesting boxes and perches to facilitate egg-laying.
Free-Range Systems: Allow birds outdoor access, promoting natural behaviors.
 PCP-Practical Crop Production

While doing our village survey we were called back to

the KVK centre for field work and pcp on reaching there
we were divided into groups of 8 students each

The tractor started to plough the field and we were asked

to collect and remove big stones from the field

Following this the tractor started to level the field with

the help of a plank

With the help of a disc harrow field was divided into

about 10 separate sections or plots and bunds were also
made

On 2 of the plots barley was sown, on 2 of the plots peas

was sown and 2 of the plots were also sown with
mustard

For barley 15 cm spacing as maintained and for peas 30

cm spacing was maintained
 VILLAGE SURVEY
We were alotted Mehunwala village and we were asked to do a survey on the village
regarding their method of farming, crops, their livestock, etc. We were given lots of
parameters such as seed quantity, amount of fertilizers , no of animals, etc we went to
the village and started to ask questions to the farmers present there . Each student had
to complete 6 farmers individually and 30 farmers as a group
Day 1 commenced with us meeting Narayan Dutt o mehunwala village, he was the connecting bridge
between us the and the people of the village . He guided us through the entire 3 days of survey for
which I am extremely grateful.

The day continued with us collecting data from farmers . Following are the farmers that I collected
data from –mr. Rup Lal and Mr Suresh Negi
• Our second day begun with the members visiting the village again to
carrout the questioners with the farmers.
• We planned to complete 10 farmers today which is 2 individually , my
farmer for the day was mr. Darshan Singh and Narayan Pawar .
• On the third and final day of our village survey , as usual I continued on with
my questionares todays farmer for me were Mr. Kashi Ram and Mrs. Sarojini.
• I would like to thank all the good hearted people of the village (Farmers and
their families) for being so kind and giving us their time to answer the survey
questions. It was a really memorable 3 days .
