Currently, e-learning is being used more frequently to enhance information and communication processes, such as in e-agriculture, in order to improve agricultural and rural development. The steps of conception, design, development, analysis, and implementation are used to generate new ideas. The purpose of this mini review was to investigate the lack of knowledge and the laborious nature of farming practises to make it possible for farmers to exchange thoughts, findings, tips, and resources linked to e-agriculture and to make sure that the knowledge produced is widely and successfully utilised. One of the main causes of the farmers' difficulties has been the infrequency with which they have been provided with timely and sufficient information on many different kinds of affecting factors, including soil conditions, rainfall, and weather. In a similar vein, most farmers lack access to a communications network that offers real-time updates on market trends and other issues. This article examines how mobile applications might hasten and simplify the development of agriculture. With a variety of mobile applications, many farmers may quickly pick up new techniques for boosting crop yields and enhancing other agricultural output. It has some limitations, particularly in remote areas with slow internet connections, and a daily updated mobile version is released. However, it is clear that technology provides much better advantages in most cases. We have elaborated on various agricultural mobile applications that can potentially be used in farming and related activities, as indicated by their source and usage. In this connection, we can say that farmers can easily access information for the smooth running of agricultural works as well as for the improvement of agricultural, horticultural, and allied sector productivity. By the help of mobile apps, farmers will also not depend on other agencies those are selling their agricultural input with higher rate and low quality. So, mobile apps are the major parts of agriculture in developing countries.
E-Agriculture, Mobile apps, Impact of Mobile apps
The majority of the population in our nation works in agriculture. It is crucial that agriculture be connected to modern technologies in order to make it efficient, easy, and respectable. E-agriculture or smartphone applications are changing agriculture today. This technology makes it possible to learn new approaches quickly and directly for boosting crop yields and increasing productivity in agriculture. In the case of the information collection through mobile apps, viz., the timely availability of quality input in agriculture, we can say that farmers will not depend on various agencies having a higher rate for selling low-quality seed, fertilisers, pesticides, agricultural implements, etc. The techniques for increasing application-based information demand the removal of barriers such as better modest handsets, compatible smart phones, multilingual platforms, subsidised internet packs, regular trainings, and farmer awareness. Every system has its own setbacks. Nonetheless, it is evident that technology generally offers considerably superior benefits. Yet by providing farmers with access to better platforms and training them on how to overcome them, we can close the gap between these drawbacks.
