Smart Monitoring & Waste Reduction in Veg & Fruit Farms

This lecture translates the seasonal blueprint into measurable day‑to‑day execution for vegetable and fruit farms. It audits the seasonal timeline, then calibrates core operational pillars (irrigation, fertigation, preventive scouting, labor allocation) to phenological stages and environmental conditions. Participants are guided to structure precise digital logs (irrigation events, nutrient dosing, pest observations, labor, inventory) that feed early KPIs (water use efficiency, application compliance, healthy plant ratio, early hotspot detection rate). A deviation management framework with tiered escalation and corrective loops is introduced, supported by a toolkit of checklists, dosage calculation sheets, and a risk matrix. The end goal: tighter decision accuracy, reduced waste, and sustainable profitability.
