I. INTRODUCTION As the android is the current trend in the today s world, each and every domain has android based applications. But it is relatively less advancement in the technology in the field of agriculture. In this silicon era, where everything is developed as a software and agriculture being the base of occupation of our nation, it is necessary that we have a software impact in this field as well. AgriCom is a revolutionary android based agriculture mobile application, which helps user to take informed decisions by accessing customized agricultural information related to their need. Our agricultural app will also provide latest technology, tools, methods, price and fertilizer. This project facilitates dynamic updation and acts as guideline for farmers. This app shows a simulation of a live environment which takes different aspects into consideration like practices, technology, machinery and fertilizer preferences etc. An analysis of the current technical trend of our country clearly indicates that there will be many multimedia based gadgets which will be available at very affordable cost and so such products will enable even common people like farmers to stay connected. This is the intent with which this product has been developed. A strategically planned implementation of this product will have wide-spread benefits across the agricultural domain. II. RELATED WORK The paper [1] discusses about today s the mobile phone is used worldwide. As the price of smart phone is decreasing, its popularity is increasing day by day. Moreover, android is the mobile operating system used in smart phone, most of its applications are freely available.

2 introduces a Farmer Helping Service system that will provide the detail information of fruits, vegetables and flowers in audio format to the farmers. This system can provide information using android smart phone from anywhere The paper [2] discusses about Android mobile use in Agriculture is as the core components to more helpful to increase productivity of crops and indirectly to increase GDP of India reduce poverty. The main challenges for crop selection traditional methods. This is android application which will be useful for farmers & agricultural institutes for cultivation of various kind of crops in various type of atmosphere. This smart phone app is easy to use and in affordable cost which will suggest most probable matching crops to people according to weather condition. The paper [3] discusses about Indian agriculture based developing country. Information dissemination to the knowledge intensive agriculture sector is upgraded by mobile-enabled information services and rapid growth of mobile telephony. It bridge the gap between the availability of agricultural input and delivery of agricultural outputs and agriculture infrastructure. Apart from this, they are also useful in our day-to-day activities such as education, medical and agriculture. This paper explores how Android Apps of agricultural services have impacted the farmers in their farming activities. III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY In comparison to the present system the proposed system will be dynamic, precise and provides complete information related to crop production, methods, technology, tools and crop protection. It also provides facility to watch & upload video and chat with agriculture expert. User and technical person need to be registered in order to access information provided by the admin. Registration provides authentication to the user/technical. Technical expert and user can have discussion. This helps the user to have even much more clarity about the things that they want. After student can login to their respective profile with the help of username and password where they are updated with crop information. If in case, admin feels that registered profile is not genuine, he can deactivate the profile at any time. Admin will upload complete information, videos related to grains and views feedback given by the user. User can view the information and videos that he want and user can upload the videos which is often verified by the admin. NCICT-2016 Special Issue 2 Page 125

TECHNOLOGIES REQUIRED HTML HTML is a hypertext markup language which is in reality a backbone of any website. Every website can t be structured without the knowledge of html. If we make our web page only with the help of html, than we can t add many of the effective features in a web page, for making a web page more effective we use various platforms such as CSS. So here we are using this language to make our web pages more effective as well as efficient. And to make our web pages dynamic we are using Java script. CSS CSS Stands for "Cascading Style Sheet." Cascading style sheets are used to format the layout of Web pages. They can be used to define text styles, table sizes, and other aspects of Web pages that previously could only be defined in a page's HTML. The basic purpose of CSS is to separate the content of a web document (written in any markup language) from its presentation (that is written using Cascading Style Sheets). There are lots of benefits that one can extract through CSS like improved content accessibility, better flexibility and moreover, CSS gives a level of control over various presentation characteristics of the document. It also helps in reducing the complexity and helps in saving overall presentation time. CSS gives the option of selecting various style schemes and rules according to the requirements and it also allows the same HTML document to be presented in more than one varying style. JAVA SCRIPT JavaScript is considered to be one of the most famous scripting languages of all time. JavaScript, by definition, is a Scripting Language of the World Wide Web. The main usage of NCICT-2016 Special Issue 2 Page 126

4 JavaScript is to add various Web functionalities, Web form validations, browser detections, creation of cookies and so on. JavaScript is one of the most popular scripting languages and that is why it is supported by almost all web browsers available today like Firefox, We used the browser Opera or Internet Explorer. JavaScript is considered to be one of the most powerful scripting languages in use today. It is often used for the develop ment of client-side web development. JavaScript is used to make web pages more interactive and dynamic. JavaScript is a light weight programming language and it is embedded directly into the HTML code. JavaScript, as the name suggests, was influenced by many languages, especially Java. MySQL SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL lets us access and manipulate databases. SQL is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard. SQL can execute queries against a database,retrieve data from a database, insert records in a database, update records in a database, delete records from a database, create new databases, create new tables in a database, create stored procedures in a database, create views in a database, set permissions on tables, procedures, and views. TOMCAT SERVER Apache Tomcat, often reffered to as Tomcat, is an open-source web server developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat is a web server and servlet/javaserver pages container. It is often used as an application server for strictly web-based applications but does not include the entire suite of capabalities that a java EE application server would supply. ANDROID Android is a moblie operating system, based on Linux kernel. Android s user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to realworld actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input.
