A new mobile application is assisting farmers in Madhya Pradesh to determine the right amount of fertiliser for their crops.
A mobile application has been introduced to help farmers across Madhya Pradesh calculate the optimal quantity of fertiliser for their fields. The tool is designed to simplify the decision‑making process, allowing growers to input basic information about their crop and land and receive dosage recommendations instantly.
The app leverages agronomic guidelines to suggest amounts that match the specific nutrient needs of each crop, aiming to avoid both under‑application and over‑use of fertiliser. By providing a clear, data‑driven recommendation, it seeks to improve yield outcomes while curbing unnecessary input costs.
Early feedback from users indicates that the application is reducing guesswork and helping farmers manage their budgets more effectively. Experts anticipate that wider adoption could also lessen the environmental impact associated with excess fertiliser runoff.
State agricultural officials have encouraged farmers to download and use the app as part of broader efforts to modernise farming practices in the region. Continued updates are planned to incorporate additional crop varieties and localized soil data.
