get the required specific information
• e‐ agricultural extension technology was
introduced in the e – Krishi Kiran
programme to provide fertilizer
recommendations on basis of soil analysis
and nutrient requirements of the crop for
each field
• Facilitates effective decision making
regarding what to produce, when to
produce and how to produce, thereby
increases income of farmers
