knowledge to grow the crops.
Ask Questions in this page user who all are having doubts can
be clarified by experts.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
A literature review is much more than a list of separate reviews of articles and books. They are common and very important in the sciences. A literature review is a critical, analytical summary and synthesis of the current knowledge of a topic. It should compare and relate different theories, findings, and so on, rather than just summarize them
individually. It should also have a particular focus or theme to organize the review. It does not have to be an exhaustive account of everything published on the topic. But it should discuss all the more significant academic literature important for that focus
The existing system uses all the manual work, where the farmers should go physically and search for the Agro shop to order pesticides/fertilizers and seeds.
In Manual Work the customer will go to a shop and he will share the disease problems with the shopper while explaining the problems he/she may not explain the exact problem so the shopper will understand some other thing and he will provide some different pesticides which is not suited for the
diseased crop. So to solve this problem we came up with a solution that is android application on agriculture.
2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM
The application which we are proposing is much easier to understand by user who is familiar with the use of mobile.
The options available for users is ordering of pesticides/fertilizers/seeds, user can learn how to grow crops and user can get suggestion about their crop from experienced person.
The application is with very basic options available, but the application has lots of options that can be enhanced in future.

Requirements for
Demonstration and development purpose:
Android Studio 1.3
XAMPP (Apache server, MySql, PHP).
3.3. TECHNOLOGY USED:
XML (Extensible Markup Language):
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined by the W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and by several other related specifications, all of which are free open standards.
The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality and usability across the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures such as those used in web services.
JAVA
Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few
implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA) meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for
recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to byte code that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. As of 2015, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in use,
developers. Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun
Microsystems (which has since been acquired by Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them.
Android:
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) currently developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touch screen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a
specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics. As of 2015, Android has the largest installed base of all operating systems.
Android OS versions:
My SQL (Data Base):
MySQL is the most popular Open Source Relational SQL database management system. MySQL is one of the best RDBMS being used for developing web-based software
What is Database?
A database is a separate application that stores a collection of data. Each database has one or more distinct APIs for creating, accessing, managing, searching and replicating the data it holds.
Other kinds of data stores can be used, such as files on the file system or large hash tables in memory but data fetching and writing would not be so fast and easy with those types of systems.
So nowadays, we use relational database management systems (RDBMS) to store and manage huge volume of data. This is called relational database because all the data is stored into different tables and relations are established using primary keys or other keys known as foreign keys.
A Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is software that: Enables you to implement a database with tables, columns and indexes.
Guarantees the Referential Integrity between rows of various tables.
Updates the indexes automatically.
Interprets an SQL query and combines information from various tables.
XAMPP:
XAMPP requires only one zip, tar, 7z, or exe file to be downloaded and run, and little or no configuration of the various components that make up the web server is required. XAMPP is regularly updated to incorporate the latest releases
of Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl. It also comes with a number of other modules including OpenSSL and phpMyAdmin.
Self-contained, multiple instances of XAMPP can exist on a single computer, and any given instance can be copied from one computer to another.
Officially, XAMPP's designers intended it for use only as a development tool, to allow website designers and programmers to test their work on their own
computers without any access to the Internet. To make this as easy as possible, many important security features are disabled by default. In practice, however, XAMPP is sometimes used to actually serve web pages on the World Wide Web. A special tool is provided to password-protect the most important parts of the package.
XAMPP also provides support for creating and manipulating databases in MySQL and SQLite among others.

5.2 Design Screenshots
:
Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate review of specification, design and coding. Testing presents an interesting of a system using various test data. Preparation of the test data plays a vital role in the system testing. After preparation the test data, the system under study is tested those test data. Errors were found and corrected by using the following testing steps and corrections are recorded for future references. Thus, series of testing is performed on the system before it is already for implementation.
The development of software systems involves a series of production activities where opportunities for injection of human errors are enormous. Errors may begin to occur at the very inception of the process where the objectives may be erroneously or imperfectly specified as well as in later design and development stages. Because of human in ability to perform and communicate with perfection, software development is followed by assurance activities.
Unit testing
Unit testing focuses on verification effort on the smallest unit of software design module. Using the unit test plans. Prepared in the design phase of the system as a guide, important control paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the modules. The interfaces of each of the modules under consideration are also tested. Boundary conditions were checked. All independent paths were exercised to ensure that all statements in the module are executed at least once and all error-handling paths were tested. Each unit was thoroughly tested to check if it might fall in any possible situation. This testing was carried out during the programming itself. At the end of this testing phase, each unit was found to be working satisfactorily, as regarded to the expected out from the module.
White Box Testing:
This is a unit testing method where a unit will be taken at a time and tested thoroughly at a statement level to find the maximum possible errors. I tested step wise every piece of code, taking care that every statement in the code is executed at least once. The white box testing is also called Glass Box Testing. I have generated a list of test cases, sample data. This is used to check all possible combinations of execution paths through the code at every module level.

Application will ask the user to enter Email Id to forward their Password. successful ORDERING ITEMS : 1 By clicking the Order Pesticides / Fertilizers / Seeds.
At first user have to fill all fields with proper data , if any Error like entering text data instead of number or entering number instead of text..is found then it gives proper message otherwise Adds Record To the Database
7.CONCLUSION
The proposed application will make the Ordering of Fertilizers / Pesticides / Seeds. At any time user can Order their Requirements using their Smartphone’s. The user will get Confirmation message through Email and the Shop person will deliver the orderings to their door step.
By uploading the image of the diseased crop the user/farmer will get the best suited pesticides/fertilizers.
So that the system which is proposed will give the best which is basic, but very effective to do such kind of activity.
8.FUTURE ENHANSMENTS
Project can be further developed with so many new modules. This is just like a beta version.
We are planning to implement this application in local languages so that every farmer can use this application
We are planning to send sms to the customer mobile on the confirmation of the order.
Currently we are having only one shop , in future we will come up with so many shops in different areas.
