Importance of Agriculture
As a rational citizen of the world, we understand the importance of Agriculture in the current as well as future scenario.
The world is moving rapidly towards Industrialization; however it has become more important to develop agriculture land
to ensure proper food cycle for the every living being.
At Jas Agro, we have an ambition to grow best quality agricultural produce for the human kind and livestock. We wish to
help the agriculture economy to revive with the best practices in farming with the use of technology, at a cost which is
affordable to every individual for garden farming and for commercial farmers at large.
Agriculture is majorly grouped into various kinds like – Food, Fuel, Raw Material, fiber, etc. Our endeavour is
targeted to the Food & Raw Material products namely:
- Azolla
- Napier Grass
- Mushroom – Oyster
- Vermi-compost Manure
Of the above, Azolla and Mushroom are amongst the super-food category and have their own value added benefits.
We have put technology to use for better growth, monitoring and result oriented approach towards farming and have integrated
Internet of Things (IoT) with agriculture.
Oyster Mushrooms
Oyster mushroom, also known as Pleurotus is a species from gilled mushrooms. Mushrooms are categorized as fungi and it is not to be technically called as plants.
Hybrid Napier Grass Cultivation
We at JAS Agro have an understanding of the need for green grass as fodder for livestock and hence, JAS Agro ventured into cultivation of Napier grass in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
Vermi-compost Manure
Vermicomposting is an organic and biological process in which earthworm species are primarily used to convert organic matter or biodegradable wastes into manure.
IoT Based Mushroom Cultivation Monitoring System
At this time, the need for food is a basic human need. With the increase in population, food is a necessity that must be supplied in large quantities and good quality. One sector that needs to be improved for food supply in agriculture especially oyster mushroom cultivation. Farmers in oyster mushroom cultivation often experience failures due to lack of temperature and humidity which results in less than optimal mushroom production. The temperature required in the cultivation of oyster mushrooms is at 22 - 28 C and humidity of 80 - 90% in order to produce superior oyster mushrooms so as not to cause crop failure. The failure of oyster mushroom cultivation due to incorrect temperature and humidity causes the resulting fungus to dry out and inhibit its growth period or even not grow. The failure of oyster mushroom cultivation as one of the pillars of food needs will result in the supply of food needs of the community to be hampered. Therefore, we need a tool for oyster mushroom cultivation farmers that can detect room temperature and humidity conditions to produce superior oyster mushrooms.
This problem able to solve with a smart farm system. The smart farm system is a system that can make it easier for farmers to monitor and maintain conditions of temperature and humidity in oyster mushroom cultivation through the website. This system uses Arduino Uno as a microcontroller, soil moisture sensor to detect the humidity of oyster mushroom growing media, dht22 sensor to detect humidity and air temperature, ESP8266 module to send data to cloud computing which will be displayed via the website and LCD. By using the smart farm system, the growth of oyster mushrooms is faster and physically less brittle.
