safe guards the soil health and microbial biodiversity. Growing trends in Agricultural Automation has
led to a tremendous development of software and applications to foster information dissemination.

Disadvantages in Existing method:
 Lack of knowledge on modern forming.
 Transaction of information.

Proposed method:
Fertilizers are materials that are added to soil for the purpose of enhancing soil fertility and
improving crop yield. This mobile app can help farmers in using fertilizers effectively, so as to
achieve economic agriculture growth. The app offers you a wide range of services that makes
