Abstract
Agriculture is the basic profession of farmers in rural India, and cultivation is very important for their day-to-day living and survival. Crops like paddy, wheat, and vegetables require watering and regular monitoring to make effective production. Watering and monitoring are crucial and time consuming. Hence, the farmer has to spend most of his time to look over the crops leaving all his works behind. Hence, to make farmers time effective, an automated plant watering system through cloud is proposed. Here, the farmer need not stay at the fields all the time to fetch water to the crops or stay back at the field due to power cut or any other reason what so ever. The farmer can monitor the field from outside besides attending to his regular activities. Solar power supports agriculture farming during unseasonal and during power failure conditions. In the proposed work, monitoring of the field is done using ThingSpeak, an IoT platform that provides a user-friendly graphical representation of environmental parameters, and thereby, the field can be monitored from anywhere using IoT over the Internet. The project consists of an on-field LCD display for keeping track of water level in tank and pump status. This project has two power supply modes, one using AC mains supply and other using solar panels in case of power cut, so that field monitoring will never be interrupted.
