Abstract:
This study describes the design and implementation of a web-based crop management system for
optimizing tomato cultivation processes. The major goal of this system is to provide specialized
instruction and management tools to tomato farmers in Sri Lanka. The work began with the
establishment of a comprehensive database, which gathered vast data from Sri Lanka's
Department of Agriculture. This database contains a wealth of vital tomato-growing information,
such as varietal specifications, climate requirements, and disease management measures. A key
element of the system is a user-friendly login/sign-in interface for farmers. After registering and
entering pertinent information, the system generates a personalized 90-day cultivation guide.
This guide offers step-by-step directions for every stage of tomato cultivation, from seeding to
harvesting. The main concerns such as fertilizer and organic matter application volumes, specific
times for various agricultural activities, and pest and disease management are detailed.
Furthermore, the system includes a novel function that allows farmers to estimate their yield and
assess its production. This feature not only benefits in yield prediction but also in determining
the efficiency and profitability of the growing process. This web-based system was built with a
strong technology stack that includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, AngularJS for the front
end, PHP for the back end, and a MySQL database. This combination provides a fluid, engaging,
and responsive user experience while effectively managing large amounts of agricultural data.
Overall, this study makes an important contribution to agricultural technology by providing a
practical solution to improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of tomato farming in
Sri Lanka. This approach intends to empower farmers with data-driven insights and targeted
counsel through the use of technology, ultimately leading to more successful and lucrative
agricultural methods.
