Agricultural Crop and Soil Monitoring System with Water Management Using IOT
Abstract
In India, an important growing sector is agriculture. The major challenges in agriculture are crop productivity, soil nutrient level, smart irrigation system, crop monitoring, etc. This project is based on the internet of things (IOT) based smart agriculture system using Raspberry Pi. The main purpose of this work is to improve the efficiency of the existing irrigation system and to reduce the human intervention for the complete automation of the system. The proposed system consists of Raspberry Pi module, various sensors, and a motor driver. Raspberry Pi is the main controlling unit that can control the operation of various sensors and actuators. The soil moisture sensor detects the moisture level in the soil and irrigates the crop in a controlled manner. If there is any variation in moisture level then the sensor will update the observed value and store in the cloud. In a smart monitoring system, the pi camera captures the video and transfers it to the cloud through Raspberry Pi. All this sensor data is show on webpage.
