2. Introduction
Agriculture is a major segment powering the Asian economy. A small
transformation in agricultural outcomes can have a huge impact on 2
dimensions – economic and human. Keeping this in mind CANOPY ONE
brings to you our pick of the top 3 use cases which would have massive
impact. So here they come
1. Determining Optimal Fertilizer Mixes
One of the fertilizer manufacturer and leading producer and distributor of
specialty fertilizers in the world, with revenues of almost US$ 2.0 billion in
more than 80 countries. XYZ produces seven main specialty fertilizers and
more than 300 fertilizer blends, depending on the needs of its customers.
Farmers want the company to quickly recommend optimal fertilizer blends
that will provide the appropriate quantity of ingredients for their particular
crop at the lowest possible cost.
A farmer will provide a company
sales representative with
information about previous crop
yields and his or her target
yields and then company
representatives will visit the
farm to obtain soil samples,
which are analyzed in the
company labs. A report is
generated, which indicates the
soil requirements for nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,
boron, magnesium, sulfur, and zinc. Given these soil requirements,
company experts determine an optimal fertilizer blend, using a linear
programming model that includes constraints for the nutrient quantities
required by the soil (for a particular crop) and an objective function that
minimizes production costs. Previously the company determined fertilizer
blend recommendations by using a time-consuming manual procedure
conducted by experts. The linear programming model enables the

3. company to provide accurate, quick, low-cost (discounted) estimates to its
customers, which has helped the company gain new customers and
increase its market share
2. Pesticides spraying using Drowns
One of the Drowns manufacturer, is a start-up designer, manufacturer and
distributor of drowns for agricultural purpose in India. The said produces
drowns which can carry 10lts, 20lts and 30 lts with flying time of one hour.
Batteries are designed in such way that they can take care until liquid
pesticide is sprayed to the last drop.
Farmers want the company to take care the exact mapping of farm
boundaries and cost effective. A farmer will provide the company typical
land boundaries of farmland in Indian context, challenges they are facing
while using drowns e.g. 1) farm will gave toddy in the middle of the form, 2)
farm will have a semi-arid land in the middle of the farm, 3) Bunch of trees at
the edges of farm for which spraying of a pesticide is strictly prohibited,
etc. Also, farmers wanted optimum utilization of the pesticide quantity and
cost effective than the humans spray the pesticides. Ensure the pesticide
sprayed using drowns is as effective as it is sprayed manually. The
objective of this use case is to develop artificial intelligence/machine
learning algorithms to take care all farmers concerns are addressed.

4. 3. Role of Robots in Agriculture
The biggest challenge of today’s agriculture is the human labour and areas
which can’t be automated or least scope for automation. A few examples:
1) Ploughing a small sugarcane farm with plough,
2) Rice and wheat residue stacking post cutting,
3) Pesticide spraying in farms which are small in nature, farms having
zigzag boundaries, semi-arid portion inside a farm, farms with trees having
a crop and pesticide not allowed, etc. The aim of the current use case is to
develop bunch of Artificial, machine and deep learning algorithms with
highest smartness and can control a Robot for doing above tasks with
accuracy of 95% or above.
The successful implementation
of above task would take care
99% of small and medium
farmer’s day-to-day activities in
India. This would lead to our
rulers’ slogans of doubling or
tripling the income of farmers
by 2020. As a result most of the
young generations would
choose farming as profession. Hence, country’s food production will go up.
The FMCG sector’s export percentage will increase and import percentage
will decrease. The GDP rate of the country will be in the growth path. The
employment dependency on outsourcing will reduce and India as a country
will become self-sufficient in generating employment for upcoming
generations.
