Eggshells
Abstract: Eggshells which are very easily discarded as waste are very rich source of calcium. This calcium if utilized properly can turn out to be a boon rather than a waste material. The first step is collection of egg shells of different birds in ample quantity. These shells are then pretreated and then subjected to pulverization to obtain a fine egg powder. From this egg powder calcium extraction is carried out …

Integration of Soil Profile Data in Crop Prediction Models: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Farmers in many areas of India are having crop production issues due to soil and climate. There is no comprehensive guide accessible to assist them in developing the appropriate types of plants using modern technology. Farmers may be unable to benefit from agricultural scientific developments due to illiteracy and may continue to rely on human practises. This complicates getting the desired yield. Crop failure, for example, could be the result …

Basic Urea and Ammonia Synthesis
Abstract: AbstractIndian population has continued to grow at the rate of 1.2% per year. This population explosion demands for around 263 million tonne of food grain per annum. From the present level of production of some 241 million tonnes (2012–2013); it is clear that an adequate quantity of fertilizer has to be made available. Urea (NH2CONH2) and ammonia (NH3) are of great importance to the agriculture industry as nitrogen-rich fertilizer. This …

Machine Learning Based Smart Aquaponics Farming System
Abstract: For many years, researchers have been studying nutrient management in aquaponic systems. Most have concentrated on adequate nutrition control in an aquaponic setup, but there has been relatively little study on commercial scale applications. For plant growth, it is necessary to measure the level of nutrients present in the soil mixture. In our model, the input data was sourced on some interval of time basis from three commercial aquaponic farms. …
