  India's agricultural sector, often referred to as the backbone of the nation, faces two major challenges during the scorching summer months: a reduced supply of electricity for pump sets and a scarcity of water for irrigation. These challenges, especially for farmers cultivating high-value crops like bananas, sugarcane, cotton, and paddy using groundwater, have led to significant crop losses on numerous occasions. The primary culprit behind these woes is the frequent load-shedding that leaves farmers unable to supply adequate water to their crops. Fortunately, studies have shown that adopting drip irrigation can offer a promising solution, even in periods of water scarcity and load-shedding. For example, an acre of sugarcane or banana crop needs only one hour of irrigation through the drip method, compared to the 10-15 hours required using the flood method. This not only conserves water but also significantly reduces the demand for electricity. While the Indian government has ma...

  PwC predicts that global spending on smart, connected agricultural technologies will triple by 2025, reaching $15.3 billion. IoTAg monitoring is expected to grow to $4.5 billion. Investment in Agri-Tech in India: In 2020-21, the Indian government allocated 1403.3 crores, and in 2021-22, 1492.7 crores for new technologies like drones, AI, and GIS in agriculture. Additionally, ICAR received 1300.50 crores and 1414.18 crores in the same years for R&D and farmer training. AI Changes in Agriculture: AI applications are transforming agriculture. For example, cognitive computing is increasing productivity.  Microsoft's project with farmers in Andhra Pradesh led to a 30% increase in yields. Technologies like mobile robots, field sensors, and advanced cameras support digital farming practices, providing detailed field analysis and crop monitoring. Precision Farming and Robotics: Precision farming integrates data for better crop management using technologies like remote sensing a...

  The demand for avocados in India has surged by 100 percent over the past year, which is 6 times more than global trend where annual growth rates range from 15-20 percent. Over the past two years, avocado sales in India have doubled, and this upward trajectory is set to continue. In 2021, India imported 1,000 tonnes of avocados, which increased to 2,000 tonnes in 2022 and 4,000 tonnes in 2023. Projections for the first quarter of the current year (2024) indicate a consumption of 8,000 tonnes. Westfalia has facilitated over 50 percent of these imports. Initially, avocados were flown in from Peru, Chile, and New Zealand, leading to high retail prices due to steep airfreight costs. However, the shift to sea transport has significantly reduced retail prices, with imports now coming from Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Brazil, and Australia. In line with the growing consumption, avocado plantations have been established in various Indian states, including Karnataka, Kerala...

Gardening is a joy, but keeping plants healthy and vibrant requires consistent and efficient watering. Traditional methods like hoses and sprinklers often lead to water wastage and uneven watering.

  Drip irrigation pipes have transformed the way farmers water their crops, offering a smarter and more efficient solution for modern agriculture. Designed to deliver water directly to the roots of plants, these pipes ensure minimal water wastage, healthier crops, and higher productivity. What Are Drip Irrigation Pipes? Drip irrigation pipes are specially designed to carry water to plants in a controlled manner. These pipes have small outlets, also known as drippers, that release water slowly and steadily. This method ensures that plants receive the right amount of water, avoiding both overwatering and underwatering. Benefits of Using Drip Irrigation Pipes: Water Efficiency: Drip irrigation pipes reduce water wastage by delivering water only where it is needed. This makes them ideal for areas with limited water supply. Healthier Crops: By providing water directly to the roots, these pipes improve plant growth and reduce the risk of diseases caused by wet leaves. Cost Savings: Wit...
