Abstract

Mobile applications and services make things simpler fulfilling our daily needs for information, communication, entertainment or leisure. Mobile Applications have brought a new revolution. In this paper we provide one such mobile application “Agro-App” under development by us, which can lead to a healthy life. Agro-App is a mobile application built keeping the farmers in mind and also a common man who wants to grow vegetables for his daily need. It keeps a farmer updated with all the information related to crop, pesticides, insecticides, financial sector etc. It provides detailed information about which crop to grow in which season and which crop is suitable for that particular area in which the farmer is living. Government of India is spending millions of money to make ICT helpful for agriculture purpose but the hindrance is the literacy of farmers mobile being a common device now, with this application we aim to make it friendly for farmers.
