MyAgri 2.1.1

The Ubiquitous Learning Application, developed for Indonesian farmers in collaboration with BALITSA (Vegetable Crop Research Institute), provides a comprehensive suite of features aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity.

The application includes:

• Information on vegetable crop seeds
• Guidance on vegetable crop cultivation
• Tools for calculating fertilizer requirements
• A guide to identifying pests and diseases affecting vegetable crops
• Strategies for pest and disease control
• Pesticide application information
• Data on agricultural machinery
• Post-harvest handling tips
• Market information
• Q&A sessions with experts via WhatsApp
• Instructional videos on vegetable cultivation

This application is compatible with both tablets and smartphones, facilitating easy access for farmers.

Designed to empower farmers to enhance vegetable production through Integrated Pest Management (IPM), the app houses a database of pest types and preventive measures based on guidelines established by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. Additionally, it provides real-time information on commodity prices according to the user's location, helping farmers to sell their produce at fair market values, thus reducing vulnerabilities to exploitation by middlemen.

The platform also encourages interaction between farmers and agricultural experts from BALITSA, allowing for informed decision-making in crop cultivation. With over 10,000 downloads, the majority from West Java and Enrekang in South Sulawesi, the application has also gained traction internationally, evidenced by downloads from neighboring Malaysia. Sponsorship from Wageningen University in the Netherlands emphasizes its credibility, and the application's findings have been published in a European agricultural journal.
