India and agriculture have literally been synonymous with each other for as long as the world can remember. From being some of the biggest exporters of rice and spices to having the largest vegetarian population in the world, the role of agriculture in India cannot be undermined in the slightest. Especially when one thinks about the early years of independence, the role of farmers cannot be taken for granted at all! Being in the forefront of progress, even today, farming is considered to be the “primary sector” when it comes to the Indian economy. A status of preference it enjoys over both the manufacturing and the service sectors combined. Keeping all of that in mind, it’s definitely worth repeating once again how important agriculture is for both the Indian economy as a whole and as an industry providing full-time jobs to millions across the country, and of course, the world.

However, faming, especially in India, as a major basic problem when it comes to the process for farming itself. The fact that the advent of modern technology, both in terms of agriculture equipment and software technology, seems to be catching ...
... too slow for farmers in India. Not only that, because getting used to new technology and equipment has a very strong learning curve attached to it, most farmers are unwilling to adapt to the change at all, even if it means compromising on their level of productivity on a daily, weekly, seasonal, or even annual basis. However, there is a solution. Here is exactly where Digitrac and its tractor services come into play, especially the AgriCare app and all the features that it has to offer.

A tractor brand like Digitrac can afford to make an offering like this since the company sells tractors directly to their customers online. So being an online-only platform where customers can buy first-hand tractors helps with the fact that they can extend their platform and create what is effectively an “ecosystem” for the Digitrac brand as a whole. With this in mind, Digitrac has created a free app which people can download and get the proper know-how of now only how to use the various products and implements offered by Digitrac in the best possible way, but also helps farmers gain the best possible knowledge that is custom-tailored to their farming needs. Everything from the types of pesticides and fertilizers used to weather forecast is covered. However, there is one very specific feature that bears mentioning here, and that is a feature called “Expert Advice”.

“Expert Advice” is a feature that allows users across the world to get expert advice on the latest farming techniques which optimally use the latest agricultural technology available in some of the best tractors in India. This is made possible by the farmers being able to chat directly with experts who offer advice to them, which is unique for each user. This is how the entire process works:

● Firstly, farmers register with the AgriCare app, and in doing so, make the Digitrac aware of the location of their farm. This helps experts identify the optimal equipment including the required fertilizers and pesticides they’ll need depending upon the type of soil, the weather, and other external factors which are determined by the location of the farm itself.

● Then, experts can advise farmers/users on which crops are the best to grow on their land and what exactly is the best way to go about farming them. Even if they are not using Digitrac equipment, a general idea of factors such as the engine size and features offered in their tractor and help experts make a decision on how to make farming efficient, effective and optimal throughout the day, season and even all year.

So if you are a farmer looking to better your level of productivity on a long-term basis, or even if you are just starting out and wish to start on the right foot, make sure to give Digitrac’s AgriCare app a try!
