In a significant development for agricultural technology, a revolutionary IoT-based automated soil testing and agronomy advisory platform, Bhu-Vision (also known as Krishi-Rastaa Soil Testing System) was officially launched at AICRP (ICAR-IIRR), Hyderabad, under the chairmanship of Dr R M Sundaram (Director- ICAR-IIRR) recently.
During the illustrious event, Dr M B B Prasad Babu (head, Soil Science & AICRP, ICAR-IIRR) was present as the chief guest alongwith other notable personalities like Dr Brajendra (Principal Soil Scientist- ICAR-IIRR), Dr P Muthuraman (Head, TTT, ICAR-IIRR), Sandeep Kondaji (founder, CEO- KrishiTantra), Manish Raut (business head- Higronics, HiMedia Laboratories Private Limited) and Melind Deshpande (MD, CEO - BhoomiSeva, HCF Tech Private Limited). Each of these distinguished guests played an instrumental role in bringing Bhu-Vision to fruition.
The Krishi-Rastaa Soil Testing System represents a new era in precision agriculture. The technology is a testament to the power of collaboration, having been jointly developed by ICAR-IIRR and KrishiTantra. Manufactured by HiMedia Laboratories and marketed by BhoomiSeva (HCF Tech Services Pvt. Ltd.), this system seamlessly conducts 12 key soil parameter tests in just 30 minutes, providing quick, accurate results directly to farmers and stakeholders through a soil health card on their mobile devices.
The launch ceremony was an event to remember with a symbolic handover of 25 Bhu-Vision devices to ICAR-IIRR by the team of HCF Tech Services and its super stockists, including Kimaya Biotech and Shreenath Engineering. Notably, the ceremony saw virtual participation from the Agricultural Ministry, Vietnam, who have expressed a keen interest in the technology. This international recognition underscores the global potential of the Bhu-Vision system.
