Smarticulture: Novel Farming Technique to Achieve Automation in Farming and Higher Crop Yield with Aid of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Abstract— Smart agriculture is a new concept, Because IoT sensors can provide information about agriculture fields and then act on it based on user input. This paper proposes a smart agriculture system which include of drone seeding, fertilisers spraying, soil sampling, farm condition monitoring includes temperature, level of water, moisture monitoring and even any movement happens in the field which may ruin the agricultural field ,through the application of IoT drones and sensors for farms and also crop rotation farms. Drone will collect farm data such as pH value, soil humidity from a ground-based sensor that will be pre-plugged in the farm by the farmer. Because of its capacity to connect over a long distance, Zigbee is used to connect the ground sensor and the drone. The acquired data will subsequently be transmitted through LoRa to a gateway, where it will be stored for data storage and analysis in the cloud. We believe that the proposed application will make farming operations more automated and increase crop output rates.
