摘要

Bhushan G. Jagyasi, a scientist with the Tata Consultancy Services Innovation Labs in Mumbai, has been engaged in a rich array of research areas in the fields of distributed detection, signal processing, wireless sensor networks, and mobile phone-based sensor networks. He has developed mKRISHI, a mobile-based agro advisory system piloted for potato farmers in Bichaula village of Aligarh district in Uttar Pradesh. Jagyasi used the reading of weather (moisture, temperature) and crop (leaf wetness) sensors and computed the risk of pest attack on potato crop using several models developed by well known agriculture scientists. He observed that the pest attack predicted by available models, though useful, cannot be used to issue pest attack advisory notice to farmers in absence of certain confidence measure. A wrong advisory warning based on mathematical models would leadrnfarmers to use pesticide excessively.
