Adithri – (F2) The Farmer’s Friend

Abstract

In this 21st century of internet world, the adoption of social network and advanced technologies has nurtured a drastic change to automation for communication through messaging applications by using web robots so called chat bots. The stimulation of a real-time conversation between the human and the computer using computer programs are said to be chatbots. For agriculture purposes, it is important to know about the various variables, update rapidly and available easily for the use of farm management by the farmers. In the domain of agriculture using Machine Learning technology chat bot ADITHRI has been prepared. Adithri is developed focusing on the search and query of data by the user deployed on different types of crops by posing query in Facebook which is based on the messenger bot API. The chat bot gives the description of the query posed by the user in the FB messenger bot. Adithri the farmer’s friend is designed in such a way by bringing various individual app services that were developed previously to the farmer such as Government schemes, Weather information, Fertilizers etc., in the shade of one umbrella. ADITHRI provides the services applicable for different types of crops and does not stick to one particular crop. It is expected that with logical capacity over the mass data, it is possible to work towards harmful situations by the farmer.
