The e-crop based smart farming ( e-CBSF), an IoT-enabled and crop model-based smart farming technology developed by ICAR-Central Tuber Crops Research Institute (CTCRI), Thiruvananthapuram, has won recognition at the national level.
It was recognised as one of five best technologies developed for the horticultural sector in 2022-23 at the 95th Foundation Day Ceremony of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) held in New Delhi.
e-CBSF is an IoT device that calculates nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and water requirements of field crops with the aim of minimising the yield gap.
