International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

climate-related crop losses. The adoption <strong>of</strong> FarmPrecise advisories positively impacts crop<br />

production compared with the business-as-usual respondents. The productivity <strong>of</strong> cotton,<br />

maize, and paddy was increased by 5.4, 10, and 2.8%, respectively, as compared to the<br />

business-as-usual farmers. At the same time, the productivity <strong>of</strong> rabi crops like wheat, onion,<br />

and maize increased by 13.0, 10.6, and 32.7%, respectively, compared to the control.<br />

Overall, the crop productivity <strong>of</strong> FarmPrecise users (treatment group) increased by 5.7%<br />

more than that <strong>of</strong> the business-as-usual farmer (control group).<br />

Conclusion<br />

The productivity difference between farm precise users and business as usual farmers<br />

The study findings concluded that the features <strong>of</strong> the FarmPrecise app, like weather<br />

forecasts, weather-based farm-specific crop advisories, community forums, and mandi<br />

prices, are most commonly used by farmers. The FarmPrecise app was successful in<br />

delivering more reliable and timely information to farmers and had the potential to improve<br />

the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> AAS significantly and enhance resilient farm income.<br />
