In such instances, quality control tests, such as genetic and trait purity tests may be conducted to determine that the seeds indeed comprise the advertised genetic composition.
In the agricultural industry, and more specifically in the seed, fertilizer, insecticide, germicide and pesticide industries, it is important for scientists to be able to analyze agricultural products with high throughput. By this it is meant that the analysis of the agricultural products preferably occurs not only quickly, but also reliably and with high total volume. For example, in seed breeding, large numbers of seeds are analyzed to determine whether the seeds possess particular phenotypic traits or markers of interest. Historically, seeds were manually examined, weighed, identified for the presence or absence of the desired trait or marker, and then sorted. Such manual seed analysis is a tedious, cumbersome task subject to human error.
Seed quality plays an important role in the production of agronomic and horticultural crops. Characteristics such as trueness to variety, germination percentage and purity are important to farmers planting crops. Achieving and maintaining high seed quality is the goal of every farmer to obtain high yield of harvest. The existent prior art does not provide standardized format for comparing seeds available to farmer and good quality of seed available in current state of art of agriculture. Thus there is a need for seed analysis data communication and comparison system.
The quality of a fertilizer, insecticide, germicide and pesticide is of huge significance in India where 70% of people are employed in agriculture. The wrong or fake agricultural product utilization can actually encourage some weeds and diseases even while helping healthy grass crowd out other invasive. Present state of art in fertilizer, insecticide, germicide and pesticide analysis includes, the elaborate quality control mechanism that exists in India ensures identification of producer and seller of fertilizers, insecticide, germicide and pesticide, specifies types of fertilizer and pesticide manufactured and sold and arranges for periodic and surprise testing of fertilizers in markets in the special approved laboratories. In case of counterfeited fertilizers, insecticide, germicide and pesticides individual farmer are not able to access or compare their sample with that standardized laboratory analyzed data which is a major drawback in current state of art.
Object of the invention
The main object of the present invention is to provide system of agriculture product analysis, generation, communication and distribution of data.
Further object of present invention is non-destructive analysis of agricultural components and generating result that are instantly compared with benchmark data which is stored on central data base server.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a system with wide reach to the remote areas.
Another object of the present invention is to cull out desired good quality of system from sub-standard or counterfeited agriculture products.
Another object of the present invention is to provide secure data communication of resultant analysis data from central database to various testing centres and other end-users.

The main advantage of this system is early detection of inferior quality or sub-standard agricultural products which are available to farmer. So by implementation of this invention risk associated with cultivation of sub standard seed and use of sub-standard fertilizer, insecticide, germicide and pesticide are minimized.
Further advantage of this system is an instant comparison between agricultural product sample and benchmark database for quality and authenticity.
Further advantage of this system is analysis of agricultural products by non destructive method, so person getting his agricultural product analysed is able to recover back the submitted sample.
The procedure for system of agricultural products analysis, content generation, collection and distribution is as follows:
There are multiple sophisticated testing centres located in different remote areas throughout the world (which can be static or mobile / portable). Any person e.g. farmer comes with their sample of agricultural product being branded or non-branded varieties or products which they want to be analysed through this system. The sample will be submitted to testing centre through the entry terminal (A4). Sample is received by testing operator and registered on basis of various parameters, as its type, quality, brand, kind and other demographic information. After registration of the sample, label is generated by the label printer (A5) for the same sample with unique bar code and is attached to each agricultural product sample.
Agricultural product sample is transported to sample analysis device (A6) through internal connectivity device (A3). The bar code is scanned by the label scanner (A7); the test is conducted by the sample analysis device (A6) for testing various components of agricultural products. Analysis is non-destructive and is based on basic component of agricultural products. Reports are generated based on analysis in one pre-defined format with graphical representation of data received. The result is saved in the system based on bar-code label generated by the label printer (A5) and scanned by the label scanner (A7). This report is communicated to the intranet/internet connection device (Al) through internal connectivity device (A3) and security device (A2). Authenticated access is checked by the security device (A2) and intranet/internet connection device (Al) will communicate the results to the central database server (B1).
The central database receives sample analysis report through intranet/internet connectivity device (B1) and communicates the report towards internal connectivity device (B3) through security device (B2).
Data is collected, analyzed and stored in the system as the benchmark data to be used for the comparison with other samples. A benchmark database is created by analysis of good quality samples of different origins, locations, types, brands etc. Each report is compared, by the application server (B4), with benchmark database which is stored in the database server (B5). Application server (B4) is responsible for hosting the database for the laboratory process application. Further, this system is capable of generating many different statistical and graphical reports displaying authenticity, compatibility, resemblance and detailed computed numerical results for all the different sample component parameters. Detailed report of each sample is prepared by comparison of each report of sample components with the central database centre and securely sent to multiple testing centres through the intranet / internet connectivity device (B1). The central data centre is accessed by privileged and authenticated network server from different institutions and organization across the world for analytical consultation and decision making.
Further, central database have ability to do audio/visual data communication among the branches and various related organizations through communication device (B6). The central database server securely communicates data to data receiving devices.
This is a paid system that provides access to authorised and privileged servers or users who have a licence agreement with service providers. The central database is capable of communicating resultant data to various testing centres which are static or mobile. Mobile / portable testing centre is able to travel through various locations like farm, agricultural university, research centres etc. and perform same function like static testing centres. Comparison of sample result data with benchmark database is responsible for detecting inferior quality or sub-standard fertilizer, insecticide, germicide or pesticide, infected and low germinating seed which is detected by comparison of essential elements present in both sample and benchmark database.
