&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;This agriculture dept. offering will also help them find out fertilizer availability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Tamil Nadu: &lt;/em&gt;As farmers in the delta districts eagerly await the opening of the Mettur dam, they are also thinking of other things they need &amp;ndash; seeds and fertilizers. To ensure that farmers get their inputs on time, the agriculture department has recently introduced a system whereby they can check availability online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using smart phones, it has linked 9,600 fertilizer dealers, 4,500 primary cooperative agriculture credit societies and 8,300 private seed dealers with an android app. These dealers and societies have been asked to update their stock position using the app, Agri Stock Monitoring System, which is updated on the website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in&quot;&gt;www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in&lt;/a&gt; that farmers can check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dealers have to update availability of urea, super phosphate, potassium, SSP and complex fertilizers. &amp;ldquo;This will help prevent hoarding. We are also making arrangements for supply of enough seeds and fertilizers so that farmers can start sowing when the water from the dam reaches them,&amp;rdquo; an official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around 11.12 lakh acres are expected to come under paddy cultivation this samba season in the delta districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annually, farmers in the State use about 20 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kottakuppam farmer S. Sankaranarayanan, who has been using the website, said it is quite useful. &amp;ldquo;Even if I am unable to check online, the Vanur block agricultural officer sends details by text message. We get regular updates about various schemes and subsidy for implements, seeds and fertilizers. The Kisan call centre is also helpful,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to M. Seran, president, Confederation of Farmers Associations, some farmers have already sown seeds with the available water and are now waiting to irrigate the crops. &amp;ldquo;They will need fertilizers almost immediately. We hope the State government will ensure proper supply of seeds and fertilizers, which are of prime concern for us,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elsewhere in the State too, samba cultivation will commence almost at the same time and farmers are preparing to sow paddy seeds. A.N.K. Jayamohan, president, Eri Neer Pasanam, Chinnambedu in Tiruvallur district, said that last year, during August- September there was a huge demand for urea and the cooperative society had only one third of what was required. &amp;ldquo;We had to go to several shops before we got the required fertilizer,&amp;rdquo; he said.

&lt;em&gt;This agriculture dept. offering will also help them find out fertilizer availability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Tamil Nadu: &lt;/em&gt;As farmers in the delta districts eagerly await the opening of the Mettur dam, they are also thinking of other things they need &amp;ndash; seeds and fertilizers. To ensure that farmers get their inputs on time, the agriculture department has recently introduced a system whereby they can check availability online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using smart phones, it has linked 9,600 fertilizer dealers, 4,500 primary cooperative agriculture credit societies and 8,300 private seed dealers with an android app. These dealers and societies have been asked to update their stock position using the app, Agri Stock Monitoring System, which is updated on the website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in&quot;&gt;www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in&lt;/a&gt; that farmers can check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dealers have to update availability of urea, super phosphate, potassium, SSP and complex fertilizers. &amp;ldquo;This will help prevent hoarding. We are also making arrangements for supply of enough seeds and fertilizers so that farmers can start sowing when the water from the dam reaches them,&amp;rdquo; an official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around 11.12 lakh acres are expected to come under paddy cultivation this samba season in the delta districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annually, farmers in the State use about 20 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kottakuppam farmer S. Sankaranarayanan, who has been using the website, said it is quite useful. &amp;ldquo;Even if I am unable to check online, the Vanur block agricultural officer sends details by text message. We get regular updates about various schemes and subsidy for implements, seeds and fertilizers. The Kisan call centre is also helpful,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to M. Seran, president, Confederation of Farmers Associations, some farmers have already sown seeds with the available water and are now waiting to irrigate the crops. &amp;ldquo;They will need fertilizers almost immediately. We hope the State government will ensure proper supply of seeds and fertilizers, which are of prime concern for us,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elsewhere in the State too, samba cultivation will commence almost at the same time and farmers are preparing to sow paddy seeds. A.N.K. Jayamohan, president, Eri Neer Pasanam, Chinnambedu in Tiruvallur district, said that last year, during August- September there was a huge demand for urea and the cooperative society had only one third of what was required. &amp;ldquo;We had to go to several shops before we got the required fertilizer,&amp;rdquo; he said.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;This agriculture dept. offering will also help them find out fertilizer availability&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Tamil Nadu: &lt;/em&gt;As farmers in the delta districts eagerly await the opening of the Mettur dam, they are also thinking of other things they need &amp;ndash; seeds and fertilizers. To ensure that farmers get their inputs on time, the agriculture department has recently introduced a system whereby they can check availability online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using smart phones, it has linked 9,600 fertilizer dealers, 4,500 primary cooperative agriculture credit societies and 8,300 private seed dealers with an android app. These dealers and societies have been asked to update their stock position using the app, Agri Stock Monitoring System, which is updated on the website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in&quot;&gt;www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in&lt;/a&gt; that farmers can check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dealers have to update availability of urea, super phosphate, potassium, SSP and complex fertilizers. &amp;ldquo;This will help prevent hoarding. We are also making arrangements for supply of enough seeds and fertilizers so that farmers can start sowing when the water from the dam reaches them,&amp;rdquo; an official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around 11.12 lakh acres are expected to come under paddy cultivation this samba season in the delta districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annually, farmers in the State use about 20 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kottakuppam farmer S. Sankaranarayanan, who has been using the website, said it is quite useful. &amp;ldquo;Even if I am unable to check online, the Vanur block agricultural officer sends details by text message. We get regular updates about various schemes and subsidy for implements, seeds and fertilizers. The Kisan call centre is also helpful,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to M. Seran, president, Confederation of Farmers Associations, some farmers have already sown seeds with the available water and are now waiting to irrigate the crops. &amp;ldquo;They will need fertilizers almost immediately. We hope the State government will ensure proper supply of seeds and fertilizers, which are of prime concern for us,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elsewhere in the State too, samba cultivation will commence almost at the same time and farmers are preparing to sow paddy seeds. A.N.K. Jayamohan, president, Eri Neer Pasanam, Chinnambedu in Tiruvallur district, said that last year, during August- September there was a huge demand for urea and the cooperative society had only one third of what was required. &amp;ldquo;We had to go to several shops before we got the required fertilizer,&amp;rdquo; he said.

Now, an app to help farmers source seed -Deepa H Ramakrishnan

-The Hindu This agriculture dept. offering will also help them find out fertilizer availability Tamil Nadu: As farmers in the delta districts eagerly await the opening of the Mettur dam, they are also thinking of other things they need – seeds and fertilizers. To ensure that farmers get their inputs on time, the agriculture department has recently introduced a system whereby they can check availability online. Using smart phones, it has linked 9,600 fertilizer dealers, 4,500 primary cooperative agriculture credit societies and 8,300 private seed dealers with an android app. These dealers and societies have been asked to update their stock position using the app, Agri Stock Monitoring System, which is updated on the website www.tnagrisnet.tn.gov.in that farmers can check. The dealers have to update availability of urea, super phosphate, potassium, SSP and complex fertilizers. “This will help prevent hoarding. We are also making arrangements for supply of enough seeds and fertilizers so that farmers can start sowing when the water from the dam reaches them,” an official said. Around 11.12 lakh acres are expected to come under paddy cultivation this samba season in the delta districts. Annually, farmers in the State use about 20 lakh metric tonnes of fertilizers. Kottakuppam farmer S. Sankaranarayanan, who has been using the website, said it is quite useful. “Even if I am unable to check online, the Vanur block agricultural officer sends details by text message. We get regular updates about various schemes and subsidy for implements, seeds and fertilizers. The Kisan call centre is also helpful,” he said. According to M. Seran, president, Confederation of Farmers Associations, some farmers have already sown seeds with the available water and are now waiting to irrigate the crops. “They will need fertilizers almost immediately. We hope the State government will ensure proper supply of seeds and fertilizers, which are of prime concern for us,” he said. Elsewhere in the State too, samba cultivation will commence almost at the same time and farmers are preparing to sow paddy seeds. A.N.K. Jayamohan, president, Eri Neer Pasanam, Chinnambedu in Tiruvallur district, said that last year, during August- September there was a huge demand for urea and the cooperative society had only one third of what was required. “We had to go to several shops before we got the required fertilizer,” he said.   The Hindu, 6 August, 2015, http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/now-an-ap p-to-help-farmers-source-seed/article7505449.ece
