Description
Fasal is a state-of-the-art IoT-based precision farming platform designed specifically for horticulture. By leveraging real-time data from on-farm sensors, Fasal provides actionable insights tailored to each farm’s unique conditions, enhancing productivity and sustainability. This platform helps farmers optimize water usage, reduce pesticide costs, and significantly increase crop yields.
Real-Time Monitoring and Data Collection
Fasal’s system uses a range of sensors to monitor soil moisture, leaf wetness, air humidity, temperature, and wind speed. These sensors collect critical data, which is then analyzed by Fasal’s AI engine to provide farmers with precise, real-time information. Farmers can access this data through the Fasal app, which is available in multiple languages and offers detailed insights into farm conditions, enabling them to make informed decisions remotely.
Precision Irrigation Management
Fasal’s irrigation management system ensures that crops receive the exact amount of water needed at each growth stage. This precise irrigation technique helps prevent over- and under-irrigation, leading to significant water savings. Fasal has reportedly saved up to 82.8 billion liters of water through its precision irrigation recommendations.
Pest and Disease Prediction
The platform’s advanced AI algorithms predict potential pest and disease outbreaks by analyzing micro-climatic conditions. This predictive capability allows farmers to take preventative measures, reducing the need for pesticides and lowering associated costs by up to 60%.
Enhanced Yield and Quality
Fasal optimizes every stage of the crop growth cycle, improving both yield and quality. For instance, farmers using Fasal have seen up to a 40% increase in crop yields while maintaining high-quality produce. This is achieved through precise management of irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, all guided by real-time data and AI-driven recommendations.
Farm Finance Management
Fasal provides tools for comprehensive farm finance management, helping farmers plan, monitor, and analyze all farm activities. This includes tracking sales, expenses, and cash flows, ensuring the financial health of the farm and making farm management more efficient.
