Agriculture being a prominent occupation of India with its contribution to GDP, effective, prominent technological methodology needs to be adopted for the process of agriculture to be more sustainable and eco-friendlier. Adoption and awareness towards organic fertilizers is a key concept in sustainable agriculture. Agriculture is the most dynamic field with multi-dimensional factors involving in the procedure. To handle the factors involved in the cultivation of a crop a knowledge base with organic fertilizers information and its availability is much needed information for the farmers in adopting them. To achieve this, we built a domain ontology for agriculture by considering factors like soil information, organic fertilizers, diseases, geographical information, crop demand, fertilizers availability. A semantic web helps in serving the ontology to the farmers.
