IoT Based Smart Farming

Abstract

This paper gives the embedded system for automatic Smart Farming using the soil sensors.The concept of Smart Agriculture is becoming a reality as it evolves from conceptual models for the development of crop at different stages.Previously the agriculture is the cultivation of the plants which is used to sustain and enhance human life. Now a days the Smart Agriculture has come into the picture globally.Agriculture is the main occupation in Bangladesh and it plays a vital role in our country. Fertilizers are the most vital factors for the crop production. The measurement of soil nutrients is greatly required for better plant growth. Because using too much of fertilizers may lead to the inferior quality of the crop production. Determining the amount of nutrients in the soil is the key function. PH value is also one of the most important and informative soil parameter to detect the soil fertility and it is measured to identify the soil fertility. In the proposed system, it determines the crops which are suitable for the particular soil type. It will analyze moisture content, temperature and humidity in soil at real time and it will also suggest the crops based on determined PH of soil. This system is proposed to help the farmers to increase the production and the suggestions are shown in LCD display and Android Apps.
