BKC Aggregators: Transforming Lives, One Farmer at a Time

  Introduction: BKC Aggregators has been working in area of weather-focused advisories to the farmers through an app named FASAL SALAH . Through this app, Farmers get advisories based on variety sown, date of sowing and weather forecast of their village. Farmers also send their crop pictures as prescribed. This App uses artificial intelligence for image processing of farmers sent pictures and crop modelling analytics, which BKC has established for calculation of yield and health of the crop well before the harvest. The service has been in successful operations with a large number of farmers.   FASAL SALAH App , Our Crop monitoring technology is unique using bottoms up approach at field level and correlating ground realities with real-time crop vegetation index monitored via spectral analysis of high-resolution satellite images for different fields and crops. This enables to track positive and negative dynamics of crop development much more realistically. This way it is more rea

  In Kharif season 2019-20, FASAL SALAH team carry out a study of crops grown in Amritsar district of Punjab. Paddy is the major crop of Amritsar district. Idea was to look at the crop on ground as well as from satellite to see if size the crop and yields could be determined. FASAL SALAH App, Our Crop monitoring technology is unique using bottoms up approach with crop monitoring at field level and correlating ground realities with real-time crop vegetation index monitored via spectral analysis of high-resolution satellite images for different fields and crops. This enables to track positive and negative dynamics of crop development much more realistically. This way it is more realistic way of crop yield estimation before actual harvest. Our technology has been field tested and awarded by Govt. of India (Winner of Great Agriculture Challenge 2019).   Satellite Image Processing and Vegetation Index- The Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Vegetation Indices M
