Impact of Precision farming
• Cluster approach +farmer's society helped strengthening farmers’
bargaining competency
• Great awareness created, farmers volunteering to adopt Precision
farming
• Increased demand among farmers have driven the sugar factories to
adopt precision farming
Sakthi Sugars -1400 Ha, Dhanalakshmi Sugars -1200 Ha,Rajshree
Sugars - 420 Ha. Perambalur Sugar Mill 400 Ha. Dharani Sugar Mills 200 Ha.
• Farmers aware of use of water soluble fertilizers and now requesting
subsidy on par with chemical fertilizer
• To enhance Micro Irrigation activities, the Government enhanced the
subsidy ceiling from 50% to 65% increasing the state share of subsidy
from 15% to 25%
