To reach out with more services to the farming community, Kerala Agricultural University has re-launched the new version of its mobile application Farm Extension Manager.
Available both in English and Malayalam languages on the Android platform for free download, the users can get the scientific cultivation practices of over 100 crops. Once the language is selected, the user can proceed through the ten broad categories of information.
The crop cultivation section gives the information on planting, varieties, fertiliser use, after-care and harvest. The recommendations are made available in a ready-to-use format. Similarly, the plant protection section covers symptoms and management of over 2,000 insect, disease and deficiency disorders. The management regime gives equal emphasis on organic and inorganic methods.
