A special facility for the agriculturists/farmers to receive SMS on the cell phones regarding weather is ready to be introduced!
Thiruvallur District Agricultural Centre’s Planning Coordinator Dr P. Shanthi explained regarding this:
A climate data-based App has been developed on behalf of the Agricultural University. With this App, we can receive SMS (Short Message Service) news-bits regarding climate-related agricultural news.
For the farmers to download this App, they need to visit Google PlayStore and type TNAU AAS - Tamil Nadu Agriculture University Automated Agro Advisory Service.
Personal details regarding Name, mobile number, location/place, the crop being grown etc are to be registered. Once this is furnished, the farmers/agriculturists will receive the climate-related consultation in the form of SMS.
Availing this facility, they can plan the ideal time for harvesting crops and applying insecticide treatment.
