Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K) launched an application to provide soil nutrient information and fertiliser recommendation for coffee plantation owners.
The Kaapi Soil Health Management and Monitoring (Kshemam) app to help farmers identify optimum levels of fertiliser use, is available on www.indiacoffeesoils.net, a GIS-enabled system for the Commerce Ministry.
The GPS enabled soil sampling and nutrient analysis was done in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu by the National Bureau of Soil and Land Use Planning at the Indian Council of Agriculture Research in Bengaluru.
