MITRA (Mobile Interventions and Technologies for Rural Areas) app provides advice on fertilizer needs and doses

Mitra, which stands for Mobile Interventions and Technologies for Rural Areas, is an app providing advice on fertilizer needs and doses for farmers. The app is designed both for farmers and extension workers to advocate site-specific recommendations to farmers on fertilizer dose.

Mitra is available both in English and Tamil, so that farmers themselves can access the information on macro and micro nutrient deficiency and remedial measures. The content is based on the latest research by the Department of Agriculture of the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, in Southern India.

Mitra is available on Google Play. The App is designed to work also in an offline mode, so that farmers without internet connection can access the information.
