GIS Anchored Integrated Plantation Management : Tea
Methodology:
(A) Generation of data from paper map and other records and survey data :
- Generation of Land use & Land cover map from Paper Map & Satellite imagery.
- Generation of Soil map from records & field survey.
- Generation of DEM from the Contour map and/or stereo Satellite imagery.
- Generation of existing Drainage map.
- Collection of field data through field sensors.
- Collection of other important attribute data.
- Socio-economic and other environmental data.
(B) Analysis of spatio-temporal and attribute data for planning :
- Fertilizer scheduling
- Scheduling of pesticide, fungicide, etc.
- Pruning schedule
- Plucking schedule
- Replantation schedule
- Irrigation planning
- Drainage improvement planning
Thus this will lead to a Decision Support System (DSS) where record of almost every individual tea plant and all corners of the field will be documented and management will be able to take proper decision at proper time with the help of this package at the expense of a mouse click.

The outcome of this proposed work can be envisaged as:
-
A GIS anchored Integrated Plantation Management package tuned for the Tea Enterprises comprising of the followings :
- Detail map of the entire estate
- Thematic layer maps of the estate
- GIS based front-end
- Attribute ERP database
- Menu-based Spatial query builder
- Customised Plantation ERP
- Decision Support System with Web Connectivity
- An interface electronics will be designed & developed to send data from the field sensors to Palm-top devices.
