SMART AGRICULTURE USING IoT

Due to population growth and demand for resources, water shortage is a major threat to agriculture. Determination of soil fertility also plays a vital role. Also, the major challenge lies in trapping the field animals such as Rats, Snakes etc. Hence this project proposes an innovative smart solution using “SMART AGRI App” which runs on IoT platform and addresses all the above mentioned issues. The user has to feed the data about the land area and the type of crop planted in the app. With the given data we can calculate the amount of water, fertilizers, pesticides needed for the given land area. The Ethernet Shield is used to collect the data and transmit it to the SMART AGRI APP. The App provides the information about the soil fertility, humidity, water overflow, field animals. Using the water level sensor the water level in the tank can be calculated and based on the data from humidity and moisture sensor the land can be irrigated automatically and can detect the overflow in the water tank. Thus, smart irrigation system helps to improve the crop yield and thereby meet the demand. This project remotely measure and monitor water moisture levels in the soil to ensure that crops are getting optimal water resources and automatically trigger sprinkler systems to address low moisture levels in the soil to prevent crop damage or loss. This idea will improve the crop yield and manage them.
