Project Summary

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the agriculture industry and enabling farmers to content with enormous challenges they face. Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan economy.

IoT based agriculture has several advantages and benefits over traditional agriculture farming, aimed to improve the productivity and environmental impact of agriculture. These techniques require continuous monitoring and automation for proper operation.  IoT will help to increase the productivity and less consumption of water with less human efforts.

IoT utilization will help in different things like aid in predicting crop yield, different parameters i.e., soil temperature, moisture, humidity, water level and proper timing of crop to be delivered to plug, which is able to help to increase the crop yield. Agriculture plays great role in the development of economy of every country. Despite of this the development in Agriculture technology is very less and negligible. In Pakistan, all Farmers are using conventional methods for farming, the developed technologies are either expensive or does not required by farmer.

This paper proposed a study with a prototype experiment to solve the problem statements based on agriculture using Internet of Things (IoT) based digital agriculture monitoring system. This paper mainly focuses on the framework of the system which targets on sensing soil quality, moisture, predict the irrigation requirement of the field using several environmental parameters along with weather forecasting that assists the growth of the Crop and provide adequate moisture needed using motor pumps with limited human interaction. Decision making is done through micro controller. User is acknowledged about the field when there is any deviation from the expected values via Blank App notification. Along with soil parameters in this project. This ensures the complete crop health.

 

Project Objectives

• Smart Watering System for assisting farmers to water all the crops
• Attach sensors to identify temperature, humidity, and soil moisture for environment monitoring
• Model to make assessment reports to help farmers increase the yield and quality.
• Image data compare to satellite data.                  

Project Implementation Method

This IOT based Agriculture monitoring system makes use of wireless sensor networks that collects data from different sensors deployed at various nodes and sends it through the wireless protocol. This smart agriculture using IOT system is powered by Arduino, it consists of Temperature sensor, Moisture sensor, water level sensor, DC motor and GPRS module.

When the IOT based agriculture monitoring system starts it checks the water level, humidity and moisture level. It sends SMS alert on the phone about the levels. Sensors sense the level of water if it goes down, it automatically starts the water pump. If the temperature goes above the level, fan starts.

This all is displayed on the LCD display module. This all is also seen in IOT where it shows information of Humidity, Moisture and water level with date and time, based on per minute. Temperature can be set on a particular level, it is based on the type crops cultivated.

If we want to close the water forcefully on IOT there is button given from where water pump can be forcefully stopped. Or These sensors are combined with well established web technology in the form of wireless sensor network to remotely control and monitor data from the sensors.

Benefits of the Project

• Simple an easy to install and configure.

• Saving energy and resources, so that it can be utilized in proper way and amount.

• Farmers would be able to smear to right amount of water at the right time by automatic irrigation.

• Avoiding irrigation at the wrong time of day, reduce runoff from over-watering saturated soils which will improve crop performance.

• This system uses vales to turn motor ON and OFF. Motors can be automated easily by using controllers and no need of labour to turn motor ON an OFF.

• It is precise method for irrigation and a valuable tool for accurate soil moisture control in highly specialized greenhouse vegetable production.

• It is time saving, the human error elimination in adjusting available soil moisture levels.
