Hyderabad: An agri-tech startup based in Hyderabad has introduced a solar-powered sensor box capable of monitoring soil moisture, nitrogen levels, and weather forecasts in real-time.
By sending instant audio alerts to farmers' basic mobile phones in local languages, the smart system has helped early adopters reduce irrigation water usage by 40% while raising crop output.
