Dr Manoj Semwal, Senior Principal Scientist, CSIR CIMAP, and the EES collaborated to arrange a departmental visit to the Central Institute of Medicinal & Aromatic Plants, Lucknow (CSIR-CIMAP) on 12th May 2023.
Dr Manoj Semwal has expertise in the application of cutting-edge technologies in agriculture, he has made significant contributions to the field of precision agriculture. The visit aimed to bridge the gap between traditional agricultural practices and modern technological advancements by exploring the potential of machine learning, IoT and drones.
During the workshop, Dr Semwal provided an overview of the fundamental concepts of machine learning and its application in precision agriculture. He explained how machine learning algorithms can analyze large datasets, identify patterns, and make accurate predictions related to crop health, pest infestation, soil moisture, and yield estimation. Participants gained insights into the role of machine learning in optimizing agricultural processes and improving productivity. He explained everything from the use of drones to collect raw data from the agricultural fields, stitching all the captured images, observing them to finally processing them to predict the crop health, growth and fertility of soils of different lands using different technologies.
Dr Semwal also focused on the role of drones in precision agriculture. Drones equipped with various sensors, such as multispectral and thermal cameras, can capture high-resolution images and data from agricultural fields. These drones provide farmers and researchers with valuable information about plant health, irrigation needs, and crop monitoring. Dr Semwal discussed the benefits of drones in precision agriculture, including enhanced data collection, cost-effectiveness, and increased efficiency.
To provide a practical learning experience, the workshop included hands-on demonstrations and practical exercises. Participants had the opportunity to see how drones work and explore machine-learning techniques in analyzing agricultural data. They gained first-hand experience in collecting data using drones, processing the collected data, and applying machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful insights.
Throughout the workshop, Dr Semwal encouraged participants to actively engage in discussions and ask questions related to machine learning, drones, and precision agriculture. The Q&A sessions provided valuable clarifications and allowed participants to deepen their understanding of the topics discussed. Additionally, the workshop provided networking opportunities, enabling participants to connect with like-minded individuals and explore potential collaborations in the field of precision agriculture.
With the knowledge gained from Dr Semwal's expertise, participants left the workshop equipped with valuable insights and inspiration to leverage machine learning and drones in their endeavours, developing advancements in precision agriculture for a sustainable and efficient future.
The students expressed their gratitude to the faculty advisor of EES, Dr Nitin Anand Shrivastava and Assistant Professor Er. Adeeb Ud Deen Ahmad for their constant guidance and support throughout the visit.
