Soil texture, fertility, and pH determine the suitability of crops for a specific farm.

Yes, assessing farm suitability enables efficient water usage through irrigation planning.

We analyze factors like grazing area, water availability, and climate for livestock farming.

Soil & Water Analysis

We test pH, nutrients (NPK), organic matter, and contaminants in soil samples.

You can deliver the samples to our lab or contact us for doorstep sample collection.

Soil should be tested at least once per year or before planting a new crop.

Water quality affects irrigation, plant health, and overall crop yield.

Most vegetables grow well in a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Soil testing will confirm this.

Adding organic matter like compost and mulch helps improve water retention.

NPK stands for Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium - key nutrients for plant growth.

Use gypsum, adopt proper drainage systems, and irrigate with quality water to reduce salinity.

Use compost, green manure, and crop rotation to improve soil fertility naturally.

It is recommended to test soil at least twice a year: before planting and after harvesting.

The ideal EC level for irrigation water is below 0.75 dS/m for most crops.

Climate Analysis and Weather Forecast

We use advanced tools and data to provide accurate, location-specific forecasts for farmers.

Climate analysis helps plan sowing, irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting schedules effectively.

Climate change leads to unpredictable weather, affecting crop yields. We provide strategies to adapt.

Farmers can use drought-resistant crops, efficient irrigation systems, and mulching to conserve moisture.

Wheat grows best in cool temperatures with adequate moisture during sowing and grain filling stages.

Yes, accurate forecasts allow farmers to plan activities like irrigation, pesticide use, and harvesting.

Frost can damage crops by freezing plant tissues. Use coverings, fogging systems, and heaters to protect crops.

Warm and humid weather conditions often favor pest and disease outbreaks in crops.

Farmers can plan sowing based on rainfall predictions and ideal temperature conditions.

Farm Projects for Bank Loans

We assist in preparing project reports and submitting necessary documents for farm loans.

Documents include land records, ID proof, bank statements, and project plans.

A farm project report includes land details, crop plans, budget estimates, and expected returns.

Schemes like Kisan Credit Card (KCC) and PM-KISAN provide financial assistance to farmers.

Loan approval depends on the bank, but with proper documentation, it can take 7-14 days.

Documents like land records, project reports, and financial statements are required.

Interest rates vary by bank and government schemes but typically range from 4-12%.

We assist in preparing project reports and applications for government subsidies.

Gardening & Landscaping

We create landscape designs based on client needs, space availability, and budget.

Succulents, palms, and drought-resistant plants like bougainvillea are ideal for hot climates.

Use organic compost, water-efficient irrigation, and native plants to create a sustainable garden.
