Best Apps for Farmers in India 2025
Indian farming is no longer just about seeds, soil, and hard work. Today, a smartphone can be one of the most powerful tools a farmer owns. In this guide, we cover 11 of the best apps transforming agriculture across India in 2025.
Why Should Farmers Use Apps?
The challenges facing Indian farmers today are real — unpredictable weather, rising input costs, pest attacks, and fluctuating market prices. Here is what the right farming app can do for you:
Get accurate weather forecasts before sowing or irrigating
Detect crop diseases early using your phone camera
Check live mandi prices before selling your produce
Buy seeds and fertilizers at factory prices online
Access government schemes without visiting offices
Connect with agricultural experts for personalized advice
Plantix
Plantix uses artificial intelligence to detect crop diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and pest damage — simply by analyzing a photo taken from your smartphone camera. Point your phone at an affected leaf or plant, and Plantix identifies the problem within seconds and suggests a treatment. It supports multiple Indian languages and works well even for first-time smartphone users.
Kisan Suvidha
Developed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Kisan Suvidha is a one-stop app for all government-related farming information. It provides weather updates, dealer information, market prices, plant protection tips, and details on government schemes — all in one place. Available in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and more.
AgroStar
AgroStar combines expert agricultural advice with a convenient online store for seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. Farmers can chat with agronomists, get personalized crop care advice, and order quality agri inputs delivered to their doorstep.
eNAM
eNAM (National Agriculture Market) is a government-backed electronic trading platform that connects farmers directly with buyers across India. Instead of being limited to your local mandi, you can list your produce and reach buyers from other states — often getting a much better price.
Meghdoot
A joint initiative by IMD, IITM, and ICAR, Meghdoot provides agriculture-specific weather forecasts — telling you not just what the weather will be, but how it affects your farming activities. Plan sowing, irrigation, spraying, and harvesting with confidence.
PMFBY Crop Insurance App
The Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana app lets farmers enroll for crop insurance, calculate premiums, report crop damage with photos, and track claim status — all without visiting any government office. Invaluable during floods, droughts, or pest attacks.
BharatAgri
Trusted by over 15 lakh farmers across India, BharatAgri provides personalized crop care schedules, pest management advice, and weather-based recommendations based on your specific location and crop type. It also has an integrated store for buying agri inputs at wholesale prices.
IFFCO Kisan
Developed by IFFCO, this app promotes advanced farming technologies including drone spraying and nano-fertilizers. Farmers can book drone spraying services directly, verify IFFCO product authenticity with a QR scanner, and access soil health and weather information.
Krishi Network
Krishi Network is essentially a social media platform for Indian farmers. Share crop photos, ask questions, get answers from agricultural experts, and learn from the experiences of thousands of farmers across India. Especially useful for new farmers seeking practical ground-level advice.
FRUITS Portal
FRUITS (Farmer Registration and Unified Beneficiary Information System) is a landmark initiative by the Government of Karnataka. A farmer registers just once with their Aadhaar and land details, gets a unique Farmer ID, and can access benefits from six departments — Agriculture, Horticulture, Sericulture, Animal Husbandry, and more. Over 55 lakh farmers have already benefitted, with integration to PM-KISAN, crop insurance, and Karnataka Milk Federation payments.
Farmonaut
Farmonaut uses satellite imagery and AI to monitor crop health, soil moisture, and weather patterns across your farm in real time. One of the most technologically advanced farming apps available in India, particularly useful for farmers managing larger land areas.
