| dc.description.abstract | Hi-tech farming is gaining grip in Indian farming system. Polyhouse farming which is a subset of hi-tech farming is an alternate new system of crop production which reduces dependency on climatic factors along with economic use of water, fertilisers and other inputs necessarily needed for farming. In a state like Kerala where per capita availability of land is less and density of population is increasing, the polyhouse can be a boon to the farmers. With advancing technologies, proper information delivery system must be there to make f armers get updated with the progress in agriculture. As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools are acquiring its foothold even among the rural communities, proper utilisation of suitable tools can help farmers to get more insight of the advances and in turn aid in efficient decision making. | |

| dc.theme | The present study was aimed to design and develop a user centred m-tool for vegetable cultivation in polyhouse. The study also intended to analyse the m-readiness of farmers, ICT utilisation, training needs for polyhouse cultivation along with constraints faced in the cultivation. The results of the study would help the authorities, policymakers and extension workers for formulating and implementing necessary plans for promoting polyhouse cultivation. | |
