AI app 'Soybean Gyan' launched to help farmers boost soybean yield
A new AI app called "Soybean Gyan" just dropped from the National Soybean Research Institute in Indore, aiming to make life easier for soybean farmers.
Farmers can snap and upload photos of their crops, and the app instantly uses AI to diagnose issues like diseases or pests—no waiting around for expert advice.
Why it matters:
"Soybean Gyan" also taps into local weather forecasts to warn farmers about possible pest outbreaks before they hit.
There's a 24/7 chatbot for quick questions, plus real-time updates on soybean prices.
The app is free on Google Play and supports multiple languages, making it super handy—especially in rural areas where expert help is hard to find.
With India still importing most of its edible oil, tools like this could really help boost homegrown production and move us closer to self-sufficiency.
