IoT based smart crop-field monitoring and automation irrigation system

Abstract

Agriculture plays vital role in the development of agricultural country like India. Issues concerning agriculture have been always hindering the development of the country. The only solution to this problem is smart agriculture by modernizing the current traditional methods of agriculture. Hence the proposed method aims at making agriculture smart using automation and IoT technologies. Internet of Things (IoT) enables various applications crop growth monitoring and selection, irrigation decision support, etc. A Raspberry Pi based automatic irrigation IOT system is proposed to modernization and improves productivity of the crop. main aim of this work to crop development at low quantity water consumption, In order to focus on water available to the plants at the required time, for that purpose most of the farmers waste lot time in the fields. An efficient management of water should be developed and the system circuit complexity to be reduced. The proposed system developed on the information sent from the sensors and estimate the quantity of water needed. A two sensors are used to get the data to the base station the humidity and the temperature of the soil, the humidity, the temperature, and the duration of sunshine per day. The proposed systems based on these values and calculate the water quantity for irrigation is required. The major advantage the system is implementing of Precision Agriculture (PA) with cloud computing, that will optimize the usage of water fertilizers while maximizing the yield of the crops and also will help in analyzing the weather conditions of the field.
