(Received on: November 5, 2016) ABSTRACT
These days’ peoples are living in the country side. Those peoples are still forwards on agriculture cultivation side. Since, the transformation of the agriculture in consequence of technology is the most important in “Todays Agriculture System”.
In olden days farmers were only dependent on clouds for rains but nowadays they are forwards to the “CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY” and also peoples are acquire the knowledge for cultivation of better crops, storage service, and professional advice for crop diseases and causes, question and answering service. Cloud service provides the easy solution and how to tackle the problems for our farmer. In this research paper, we mainly concentrate on the framework model to provide the service to the farmers via mobile and system applications. It can be sub divided into three types they are mandi service, cultivation clearance and financial services and we are also going to show farmer difficulties with the help of cloud computing.
Keywords: cloud computing, agriculture system.
INTRODUCTION
Cloud best things
Cloud computing is the kind of computing it talk about the services and applications.
Cloud computing runs on the circulated network using by virtualized resources and also it is
accessed by networking standard. Cloud resources consist of network, storage, hardware
resources and different resources. The cloud is mainly prepared for the user. They using three
models, these three models are very important in the cloud technology. First one is the
Infrastructure as a service, this IaaS service present hardware linked services using some
principles of cloud computing. Second is the platform as a service this services is used for the
platform development, and third is the Software as a service, it is used for complete software
going on the cloud.
Benefits of cloud computing:
Huge information storage.
Cloud agro system.
Data gathering tools.
Agriculture best things
Agriculture is the most important economic part in our world. Nowadays India is one of the fastest developing economics in the world. It is also called the leading producers agriculture plays an important role in the economy. The application of information technology it interacts the production development and economy. It is emerging many technology but cloud computing technology and some of fields are going successfully. Especially it is in medicine, energy, and manufacturing and some other areas. With the development of cloud computing and its following the service providers are coming up by very easy and understandable solutions for the end users in this paper we discuss the cloud computing how cloud computing technology can be applied in the field of agriculture and it will use full to the rural farmers. Agriculture plays an important role in the economic areas. India is the world leading producers of wheat, paddy, rice, milk and sugarcane etc. and also it is the second largest producers out of the top ten products. Now India is the largest milk producers is the world. It provides the many things such as the fresh fruit, coriander, jute, tropical fresh fruit, cow’s milk, dry chilies, safflower seeds, spices, pepper, cashew nuts, mangoes, guavas, meat, coffee etc.
Second largest producer of the cashews, goat meat, silk, ground nut, pumpkins, and tea they are called the agriculture marketing environment. Cloud computing interacts with the internet to be the available to the user through the very well defined boundary. Cloud computing network it includes storage, network and so on.
RELATED WORKS
In this paper, they plan and improve agri-cloud which supplies support to the
agriculturalists in evaluating crop infections, receiving obligatory proposals and judgment
suitable fertilizers through farming at lowest cost from specialists at inquiries locations or from
Administration executives in Cultivation subdivisions in a straightforwardly comprehensible
in normal languages
1. They technologically advanced a framework to help for farmers in
advertising their crops more suitably without involvement of peace corps. The framework can
be established via mobile app in cloud which can be convenient to agriculturalists and it can
be 24X7 provision facility mode
2. In this paper they proposes several methods in which a
agriculturalist can use MCC proceeding their phones using apps known as Agro-Mobile, to
support them for comparatively better farming and publicizing. The main courtesy of this effort
is concentrated on harvest image investigation the new setup usages tools similar to Open
Nebula 2.0, and the MATLAB in 2012b. In this paper work they used the Android mobile
system it is used for challenging but it is not the only system
3. In this paper, they concentrated
on announcing the newest technologies such that the sensors, Cloud computing toward
radically reread methods to farming by gathering the data almost the several restrictions of soil, examine the data’s and executed the subtractions, mean the best solutions for the agricultural to found a hypothetical perfect of Cloud services it make a investigation based influence to agriculture
4. They implemented work contracts through the growth of an AGRI perfect, it provides a web founded devices for the farming subdivision in India. The effort carried available shows an AGRI CLOUD classical which delivers support to the agriculturalists in examining farm diseases, receiving required proposals and discovery suitable fertilizers through cultivation at least cost from specialists at investigation places or from Administration in the Cultivation departments.
Problems faced by farmers
Actually there is not few problems in agriculture sector that can be solved. There are many problems. So at least even if we are not considering How to solve all the problem at least we should consider How to prevent:
We have a lot of small farmers, who hold less than 2 hectors of land. They are 85% of the total operational holdings and 44 % of the total operated area.
Illiteracy is another problem. They have no idea what’s going on in farming industry.
Internet & books can’t even help them. Rural illiteracy is very high in India.
Indian agricultural field suffers from low productivity. Our productivity is very low.
Labor also big problem for farmers in agriculture, due to quality, availability, skills, cost.
Irrigation is another major difficulty for farmers. Due to availability, quality, right time of irrigation.
Fertilizers is also another major problem they should aware of the fertility of their soils.
Problems of a farmer are mainly infrastructural and economic.
Due to lack of proper knowledge farmers are forced to buy their products which are expensive
Less knowledge about type of land and what type of crops will yield more output. Rotation of crops every season depending on type of climate.
New virus that attacks crops and no knowledge about what medicine will stop that.
E-cloud agro center In our method show the e-cloud agro center, it is the cloud based computerized
organization and it can be used to observe the complete data related to agriculture. Agro center
will provide data about the crop related information, weather database, soil database, growth
progress, expert consultation, agriculture disaster, insects and pests data, fertilizer and
pesticide, government funds, private funds, seed producers, soya, wheat, marine products,
tobacco and coffee to the Indian farmers. The information can be stored in the cloud according
to the farmer’s natural language in the cloud agro center. In this E-cloud agro centre
architecture the farmer can first register to the cloud centre for the agriculture services by the
support of smart phone with the internet connection and then the farmer can request for the
services and it can be provided by the cloud centres. The cloud agro centre holds the following
agriculture database:
Weather database
The smart application can observe the weather related data and it can provide the weather forecast for specific time. This will help the farmers query about the temperature and humidity for the variety of crops.
Figure: 1 Agro conservation centers
Crop information database
It stores the crops development information in the various regions. This will support for the farmers about the decision making and it can be related to the crop.
Soil database
Soil information database plays an important role in the agriculture database. This component consists of information on environment of soil in various regions of India and it can provide the earliest soil information of a specific environmental place that supports to forecast the upcoming soil in the region.
Growth development progress
It observers and stores the crop development information in the various regions of the country in a particular time.
Farmer information database
It stores the farmer’s information of the region wise of India. It can be support in
finding the essential Indian agricultural regions, so that the rule makers can take the decision
on cheering and supporting agriculture.
Expert adviser
This component provides answer to the problems for different agriculture of Indian farmers. It can also provide the answer for the farmer’s bundle question and the response can reach to the farmers quickly.
Agriculture disaster
An agriculture natural disaster is the most important to a failure of harvests play chaos with the budget of a country. The greatest way to treaty with the disaster is too ready for any prospect. The government also gives the payments and other economic help to farmers who are pretentious by the natural disaster. This is done to inspire them to carry on investing in and producing agricultural merchandises.
Insects and pests data
The farmer can observe the significant data similar to alert distributed date, municipality, kind of insect and pest, important time of prevention, and pesticide, etc.
MANDI SERVICES
Figure: 2 Mandi System.
REGISTRATION PROCESS
All the user wants to register and then give it to their own details such that name, address, personal details and phone number. Afterwards registration process is over, users issued a login id and also PIN to access the Mandi’s services. The user personal details are store in database and it is used to mostly for the logging purposes and accounting.
ADVERTISE RESOURCES
Each users they can publicize the compute resource accessible for leasing. All the resource is allocated a unique id. The users are needs to update Mandi about the trading center to its use for the resources. The user chose market model, after the leasing fee of the source should be assumed while publicity the resource. All the user information details are stored in the database storage layer it is accessed through some components of Mandi used by Resource File Service for sharing purposes all these process are finished services distributed to the user.
LEASE RESOURCES
Lease Resources it to allow the combination of market model in the Mandi service market interchange, Reservation Service is additional to the allow users to straight lease the accessible resources. A user sends the id details of the resources to be the leased over Mandi.
USERS
User class is used to store personal details about the member’s consumers and providers of the Mandi services. Information will be used for check authentication details and sanction.
Cultivation clearance
In cultivation clearance, we clearly explain what are the services can be provided to the farmers.
Figure: 3 Cultivation clearances in cloud.
Crop technology
It can be one of the most olden fields in an India which shows a main part in our financial growth is cultivation area. However, our olden methods are still stopping in an India which is the chief obstacle for speed progress. Observe this situation in outlook we established a farming information scheme to uphold the cultivation yields facts in cloud. The cultivated information scheme delivers capability to a farmer to upload at present harvests details on the cloud and it operators get relative production of the crop. It can be connected network data about the yields. It will be offers straight message between the agriculturalist and operator.
Consequently, there is definitely not a middle member in amongst farmers and operator also this information scheme delivers the outside operators, the capability to get brief data in a desired layout. The cloud will deliver relative productivity to the consumers. The cultivation observing scheme offers viewing facilities, and therefore it upholds the crop developing atmosphere in an ideal prominence.
Horticulture technology
The word horticulture can be derivative from the word in Latin. It is the knowledge of farming of orchard foliage. Cultivation manufacture is a reduced amount of as compared and therefore it can be exact high mandate in the market.
Current position
Gardening yields establish an important module of entire cultivated manufacture of the harvests will cover approximately 11.7 million ha range with a whole manufacture of completed 91.07 million qualities.
1. Increasing inquiry services
The farming areas receiving main concern in the new five year plan expense. There is certainly optimistic feature in protection anticipation for conveying area underneath irrigation, a lot of irrigation tasks, chief and negligible are in development and various would be assumed in next upcoming.
2. Cold storage facilities and preservation
Through peak period of a specific crop there is excess in marketplace and costs comprehended are very less. This can be overwhelmed by keeping the fruits in stony room. A lot of conserved crops have spread probable. Examples are jam, gelatin, liquors and syrup’s etc.
3. New methods for expansion of production This supports in growing the harvest.
a) Usage of development controller and gurdling cumulative harvest by 50% in a grape.
b) Usage of growing devices.
4. Obtainability of low-priced labor
In an India for the reason that of huge population man influence is simply obtainable
and as related to the other countries and the manual labor is low-priced which absolutely
benefit in observance down the manufacture cost to the agriculturalists.
5. Loan services
Numerous profit-making banks and government offer finances at very less interest for the upgrade of gardening crops.
Care for natural resources
At the present time, the relationship amongst human and atmosphere grow into penetrating. As human being population is increasing, natural wealth are successively out in our surroundings. Therefore, more countries and global non- constitutional governments significantly help tolerable developments. In current years, growths in farming yield have originated in portion at the outflow of worsening in the natural resources ignoble on which agricultural schemes depend. It is vital that this development be upturned by cheering the farmers to accept more supportable approaches of agricultural that will make sure continuing welfares in ecological preservation and growth of bearable source of revenue. The country keeps 27% of its land-living in Country Park, natural world sanctuaries and it can be more than 100 isolated assets.
Cultivated environment
Cultivated environment goals to self-possessed the enormous amount of effort that the farmers and land administrators previously do to raise your spirits in wildlife, to help soil and water resources and to provision pastures birds. It inspires charitable organization by several administrations dedicated to both cultivation and the atmosphere. At what time it derives to cultivation and farming, achievement is continuously hooked on series of one kind to a different. Season alteration, rainfall that advantage to the atmosphere, whilst make certain well-organized and cost-effective food manufacture. It can be reinforced varies, weather forms shift. In short, this is the times of sufficiently and there periods of great mandate, thus agriculturalists want to mechanically measure their capitals and facility according to instant requirements and their individual expenditure, harvest and other strategies. Although shifting, recurring mandate generates adequately of doubt for farmers, the intermittent, constantly- changing natural surroundings of requirements contrasted with replacement dimensions generates an perfect atmosphere for cloud computing to grow well.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Financial stability
In today’s Economic literature one of the most widely issue is financial stability.
Cost of goods is decided by the consumers not by the sellers.
Financial stability is considered as the midpoint between financial instability and financial
independence.
In agriculture, price is depend upon the demand.
Financial stability is a condition in which an economy work for managing the financial
risks.
Government fundi regulation
The government should play important role on improving the production of agricultural
products.
Initializing agricultural products stabilization fund.
Funds should be provided in such a way that each and every farmer should be able to
cultivate the farm in a healthy manner.
Government should categories the agricultural products that are in need of financial
support from the government in order to increase the production of the crop and volume as well as the producer’s income.
Agricultural production stabilization fund is mainly funded by the fiscal budget.
Government should fix the valuable prices for agricultural products .it wil motivate the
producers.
Private funds
Private equality firms are investors not traders.
Private equality fund take the investments from companies with the prediction of a longer
term return when a company goes public or eventually sold.
A private equity fund is a collective investment scheme used for making investments in
various equity securities according to one of the investment strategies associated with private equity.
A private equity fund typically makes investments in companies.
Forecasts budgets
Financial forecasting indicates where the business is actually leading.
A budget estimates the expenditure and revenue of a company that occurs in the future.
For funding profitable operations, financial planning is a critical financial tool.
The forecast budget will estimate the amount spend on an organization process.
Forecast budget will also help us in getting the knowledge about the amount utilized over
