A STUDY ON THE USAGE OF RADIO IN AGRICULTURAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES BY THE FAR...IAEME Publication
Agricultural information plays a vital role in agricultural development as well as in improving the livelihoods of farmers. Though modern communication tools play a vital role, Radio help the farmers to improve agricultural yield through access to information in order to avail basic financial services, new techniques of agriculture and new marketing strategies and in turn supporting them to get better prices for crops and good return on investment. Radio provides recent, up-to-date information on crop prices, which helps the farmers in saving time and money. It ensures the farmers to bargain a deal with the traders and merchants and improves the marketing strategies to sell their harvest. Radio Programmes enable the farmers to understand the important weather data and they manage their crops accordingly. The main objective of the study is to analyse the usage of radio information in agricultural practices by the farmers of Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu. The researchers adopted a descriptive research design. Multilevel sampling was adopted in selecting the respondents for this study. Simple random sampling was adopted for selecting the respondents and thus 220 completed interview schedules were selected out of 383 respondents who were interviewed. The study concludes that radio is useful for receiving vital messages related to seed availability, weather, availability of loans, market price and also information on highly profitable products.

Abstract Bangladesh is densely an over populated country where a large number of people (more than 60 percent) are still living their livelihood directly or indirectly through the agro based jobs. The environment is very much favorable for agriculture. The contribution of agricultural sector to GDP is 20.60% In this regard, if the initiatives are been taken to provide the right farmers with the right information by the right way at the right time within the least cost, the success will be definite. Decision making is a very crucial part in every activity to be performed in an excellent manner. Any system applied for getting information and knowledge for making decisions in any industry should deliver accurate, complete, concise information in time or on time. The information provided by the system must be in user-friendly form, easy to access, cost-effective and well protected from unauthorized accesses. And to ensure all these there is no alternative other than telecommunication and networking technologies. Different collaboration and communication tools are available to share information throughout the world to ensure improved decision making. And those tools are also playing an important role to disseminate agricultural information. Mobile phone is one of the most popular electronic media among the natives of this country for news and information. Mobile phones significantly reduce communication and information costs for the rural poor in developing countries. This not only provides new opportunities for rural farmers to obtain access to information on agricultural technologies, but also to use ICTs (Information and communication technologies) in agricultural extension systems. Since 2007, there has been a proliferation of mobile phone based applications and services in the agricultural sector, providing information on market prices, weather, transport and agricultural techniques via voice, short message service (SMS) and internet. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze the contribution of mobile phones on the dissemination of agricultural information for the farmers for their agricultural enrichment with emphasis on analyzing quantitative data gathered in a survey using a structured questionnaire that was generated on the basis of my theoretical study. Findings indicate a positive curve towards the dependency on and contribution of mobile phones. Keywords: Agricultural Information, Mobile Phones in Bangladesh, Agricultural Information Service (AIS), Technology Adoption, E-agriculture.
Now a days new apps and applications came into existence which are routinely using by public..in this context use of these software tools and android applications can be exploited to help the farming community for real time solutions without any gap in transfer of IPM information.This ppt useful to know the areas and forms of usage of computers in IPM.
Agricultural Technology Information Center (ATIC)Lokesh Waran
The document discusses Agricultural Technology Information Centers (ATIC) in India. ATIC were established to bridge the gap between farmers and agricultural technologies generated by the National Agricultural Research System, as farmers lacked access to this information. The ATIC of IARI, New Delhi was created in 1999 as a single window system to provide farmers advisory services, technology products, and facilitate information-based decision making. The mandate of ATIC is to provide a single window for products/services and facilitate direct access to institutional resources for farmers. Services provided through ATIC include farm advisory services, a helpline, sale of seeds/products, publications, crop demonstrations, a website, and training programs.
This document proposes a framework for an agricultural information dissemination system using information technology to improve crop productivity for farmers in India. It suggests creating a crop database and information services system to provide expert advice and disseminate knowledge on crop varieties, production techniques, and market demands.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
