Abstract
In agriculture, large-scale farming and feeding of effective organic nutrients to plants, in wide-ranging irrigation field becomes a serious scenario faced by majority of sectors in present agricultural system. In present, adapting the method of irrigation and continuous monitoring of irrigation system in agricultural field is becoming difficult for the farmers in adverse situations. The main intention of this paper is to feed the crops with organic nutrient content and to automate the continuous monitoring of water level, temperature, salt content present in water using Internet of Things (IoT). An IOT based Organic Drip Fertigation system mainly helps the farmers to automatically sense the difficulties that may occur due to the presence of salt content in water also automates fertigation method (the usage of organic nutrients) to make comparatively high yield than the ordinary methods. As a result, the proposed system helps in reducing soil erosion as only the required nutrients are injected via the drip system in order to reduce the usage of chemical fertilizers. In this paper, we use Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify three (Temperature, Ph, Flow) feature vectors. The classification results will predict whether the obtained data is normal or abnormal and explore the accuracy of classification prediction by using SVM. Finally, the classification result obtained by applying SVM is uploaded to the ThingSpeak cloud.
Highlights
An irrigation system is the main means of supplying water via artificial canals and channels to growing plants and crops in a field
An IOT based smart drip fertigation system is developed for the continuous monitoring and it senses the temperature, water PH and Nutrient content flow
Flow sensor is fixed in the drip system is a simple method, which helps the user to control the water flow using this device and it intimates the farmer whether the flow of the nutrient content is normal or abnormal
Summary
India ranks second among agricultural country with plenitude of fertile lands. Irrigation is an essential means of watering land to make it ready for agricultural purposes. Nutrients (Jeevamrutham and Panchakavya) are applied to the root zone of the crop and uniformly sprinkled to the entire agricultural field through drip fertigation method This method strengthens the fertility of agricultural land sustained crop growth is obtained and yield rate of the crop percentage is increased by 90% field, leads to high labor cost. To overcome this phase, an IOT based smart drip fertigation system is developed for the continuous monitoring and it senses the temperature, water PH and Nutrient content flow
