AEDAA Equipments Pvt Ltd, established by Thota Durgaprasad and Thota Murali in Andhra Pradesh’s Madanapalle, is transforming Indian agriculture with the strength of advanced automation and artificial intelligence-based precision technology. With its focus on low-maintenance, energy-efficient solutions that solve key irrigation, fertigation, and pest control issues—equipping farmers with scalable, sustainable tools for today’s farming—AEDAA Equipments Pvt Ltd is poised to transform Indian agriculture.
Tackling Agricultural Challenges
Indian agriculture is still criticized for inefficient irrigation, excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers, and over-reliance on manpower—cost drivers and reduced productivity. AEDAA intends to eliminate these inefficiencies by utilizing AI and automation at the farm level on a daily basis. Not only does their technology-driven approach reduce resources and time, but it also works in favor of the overall philosophy of climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture.
Key Offerings
AEDAA delivers practical, innovative tools that serve both rural farmers and urban growers:
- Smart UV Pest Traps: Solar-based, environmentally friendly pest control units that use ultraviolet light to bring pests in and destroy them with no chemical pesticides.
- Remote-Controlled Solar Valves: Solar-based water-conserving irrigation valves, remotely controlled, maximizing water use and promoting micro-irrigation systems.
- Fertigation and Motor Automation: Advanced motor controllers and fertigation units that eliminate drudgery and provide continuous supply of nutrients
- Urban Gardening Kits: Easy-to-install automation tools designed for city-based plant lovers to manage small-scale gardens with minimal effort.
Real Impact
AEDAA’s smart agriculture solutions have enabled farmers in Andhra Pradesh and beyond to transition to more eco-friendly and efficient practices. Their UV-based pest traps have drastically cut pesticide usage, while automated irrigation systems have improved water use efficiency. These innovations have helped boost crop yield, lower input costs, and promote long-term soil and ecosystem health.
Success Story
In the dry belt of Rayalaseema, a tomato farmer implemented AEDAA’s solar irrigation valves and pest control units. Within a single cropping season, he reported a 30% reduction in water consumption and significantly fewer pest attacks—without using chemical sprays. His profits rose by nearly 20%, inspiring nearby farmers to adopt AEDAA’s automation tools.
