CropGen - AI & Satellite-Based
Climate-Smart Farming Platform
Developed under Operation Dronagiri | Early Stage | Agriculture Sector
The Challenge We're Solving
Traditional farming faces critical challenges: inefficient resource utilization, excessive fertilizer use leading to environmental degradation, unpredictable weather patterns, and declining productivity. Farmers need data-driven insights to make informed decisions and optimize their agricultural practices.
Water Scarcity
Inefficient irrigation systems
Soil Degradation
Poor soil health monitoring
Fertilizer Overuse
Excessive chemical application
Weather Uncertainty
Unpredictable climate patterns
Problem Statement
Farmers in India face major challenges due to inefficient fertilizer use, poor visibility of crop health, delayed agronomy advisories, and lack of real-time decision support. These issues lead to soil degradation, higher input costs, and reduced yield.
- Inefficient fertilizer use
- Poor crop health visibility
- Delayed agronomy advisories
Our Solution
CropGen addresses these gaps by using AI, satellite data, and localized agronomy intelligence to deliver live, field-specific recommendations helping farmers make self-decisions on fertilizer, irrigation, and crop management.
Sentinel-2 satellite integration
AI-powered recommendations
Real-time monitoring
Solution Overview
Comprehensive AI-based crop monitoring system with satellite intelligence.
CropGen is an AI-based Crop Monitoring and Advisory System (AAS System) that provides real-time, LLM-powered crop advisories using 18+ field parameters including soil health, moisture, weather, vegetation indices, and nutrient balance.
It analyzes 12+ satellite indices (NDVI, EVI, NDWI, MSAVI, SAVI, etc.) and offers BBCH-scale nutrient management for precise NPK recommendations.
Geospatial Datasets (GDI): Sentinel satellite imagery, weather satellite data (NASA POWER & ERA5), SoilGrids, and local field validation data.
Automatic Agronomy System
18+ ground data points to deliver real-time crop advisories on pests, diseases, irrigation, and fertigation helping farmers make smart, data-driven decisions for better yield and sustainability.

I'am using the CropGen mobile application, which provides me with helpful advisories on what fertilizers and pesticides to apply to my soybean and turmeric farms. It also gives me images showing where my crops are under stress. Right now, I am making my crop decisions by myself, but the information and insights from CropGen are helping me make better and more informed decisions.
