GIS Anchored Integrated Plantation Management : Tea
Conclusion:
The following benefits are envisaged from the proposed work:
- A customized GIS based ERP package where all the spatial information of a Tea Estate like land use, land cover, soil, fertility, health of tea bushes etc. will be presented as thematic layer maps and all the associated attribute data will be stored in a database and linked with the Layer maps.
-
The package will lead to a Decision Support System through which proper planning and actions can be taken for maximum profitability.
-
Models will be developed for damage & loss assessments due to drought & flood and preventive measures and plans will be made accordingly.
-
Scheduling of application of Fertilizer, Pesticide, etc. and scheduling of plucking will be generated.
-
The Customized GIS package will lead to any type of user query (either spatial or non-spatial or both) related to the estate and that will in turn make management decisions easier.
-
Although this package is proposed for Tea plantation, after successful completion of this project, this package can very easily be customized for all other plantation based industries.
