Farmers · How Shri Sahaj works
Rules choose the crops. Science checks them. You confirm.
Every option passes five steps before it reaches your screen. Nothing is guessed, and nothing is final until your soil is tested.
The five steps
From pin code to plan.
- 1
Locate
Your pin code is placed in its district and zone, with the rainfall and soil pattern of that zone.
- 2
Exclude
Hard rules drop what cannot work: the wrong season, too little water, a soil type the pair does not suit, a zone where it is not recorded.
- 3
Rank
What is left is scored on the grade of evidence and on how well it fits your goal: income, soil, risk or fodder.
- 4
Compose
For the top options, rows, plants and a seed range are worked out for your exact plot, after leaving a border.
- 5
Confirm
A soil test and an agronomist's review turn an indication into a recommendation. Only then does the protocol begin.
How sure are we?
Four levels of confidence, always shown.
The page tells you which level you are at, so an indication is never mistaken for advice.
Zone-level indication
- From your pin code alone
- Good for an idea, not for sowing
Field-informed indication
- Adds your water, soil colour and goal
- What this calculator gives
Soil-informed indication
- Adds your Soil Health Card or lab report
- Nutrient and pH aware
BhoomiSeva protocol (final)
- After a soil test and agronomist review
- The only level that is a recommendation
Evidence badges
Every pair shows how well it is backed.
Recommended by research
Listed by ICAR or a state agricultural university for the zone.
Research-backed
Supported by published trials, with a narrower or older evidence base.
Ancestral practice
Long used by farmers in the zone. Shown honestly as practice, then checked by the panel.
Pairs that need review, such as vegetables between sugarcane rows, are marked Conditional and ranked lower until an agronomist clears them.
Who stands behind it
Software suggests. People are accountable.
The calculator applies rules that experts have signed. AI, where it is used, only explains the result in your language. It never decides the crops.
- WarkemKnowledge partner and co-developer. Helps build and sign off the system library and each rule version.
- Scientific ContributorsHarit Kranti 2.0 agronomists review the soil test and give the final advice for your farm.
