Abstract
There is a large amount of data related to agricultural practices being collected via different sources but it is not being u sed for maximum benefit for the farmers due to lack of mediums for the information to flow and other factors like language differences, lack of technology to access that information etc. Information Communication Technology (ICT) can helps to bridge that gap by creating systems that are easier to access and are able to answer the basic questions for the farmers which helps the farmers to increase the production of the crop. Such a system should make use of all the data sources available and provide processed information that makes sense to the user. We have developed ontology based Agro-Advisory System to fulfill these requirements. It is acknowledged based system. The knowledge base is maintained in the form of ontology. Ontology contains cotton crop knowledge. Ontology is integrated with RESTful web services to develop our system. Farmers can ask their queries related to cotton crop cultivation by Android mobile and get recommendations on their mobile which improves cotton crop productivity. The system is also able to send notification and alert to farmers if any adverse change in weather condition.
