IOT based smart Agriculture monitoring and guiding system

Project Title

IOT based smart Agriculture monitoring and guiding system

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

One of the largest livelihood providers in Pakistan is Agriculture. Agriculture plays an essential role in supporting human life. The rise in population is proportional to the increase in agriculture production. Basically, Agriculture production depends upon the seasonal situations which do not have enough water sources. To get beneficial results in agriculture and to overcome the problems, IoT based smart agriculture system is employed.

This IoT based smart monitoring system is useful to optimize the use of resources such as water in agriculture field. The system uses sensors and devices for identification of need of the crop, controlling the water flow, storing the information for analysis and real time monitoring of the crops.Our Proposed Architecture model consists of three different layers as

1) physical layer

 2) IoT layer

3) Com-op layer

These layers act as the entire management system provided with consumer monitoring and automation services into it. The system has capability of managing all types of issues in agriculture like animal control, quality management, supply-chain management and so on.

Agriculture is done in every country from ages. Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization. Agriculture is done manually from ages. As the world is trending into new technologies and implementations it is a necessary goal to trend up with agriculture also. IOT plays a very important role in smart agriculture. IOT sensors are capable of providing information about agriculture fields. we have proposed an IOT and smart agriculture system using automation. 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,rain sensor,Water level sensor,PIR sensor, 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,we control whole project through andriod app.

Project Objectives

1)The growth of the global population coupled with a decline in natural resources, farmland, and the increase in unpredictable environmental conditions leads to food security is becoming a major concern for all nations worldwide.

2)The second objective of this project is to offer assistance to farmers in getting Live Data (Temperature, Humidity, Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature) for efficient environment monitoring which will enable them to increase their overall yield and quality of products.

3)Manual irrigation is still widely used in agricultural field using traditional drip and can watering. However, traditional irrigation systems are inefficient and inexact, leading to either insufficient or excessive watering. Moreover, it is difficult for farmers to predict suitable quantities at the appropriate time. Manual monitoring of the crop field may also lead to human error and is potentially risky for rural areas.

3)According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, Pakistan is amongst the top ten onion-producing countries in the world. Though in Pakistan, most of the districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa produce onions, Malakand division lonely contributes 60% of the total onion production of the country. In onion farming, bolting is an insidious phenomenon that occurs in onion plants due to fluctuations in environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Due to bolting, the flowering stem of an onion plant is produced before the crop is harvested, resulting in a poor-quality harvest and yield. Therefore, from a farmer’s perspective, it is highly desirable to monitor and control the environmental factors to avoid bolting,increase yield production.

4)The proposed system is an indigenous, low-cost, and easy-to-install solution that is developed with locally available hardware and resources. We believe that it can transform conventional onion farming into more productive and convenient smart farming practices. This new system would help the farmer detect and identify the yield problem and sort it out early.

Project Implementation Method

Step1:

First we Write the code in Arduino IDE then upload the code to Arduino board. Based on the behavior of sensors arduino transfer the data to the andriod app.

 Step2:

Then we Connect all the sensors, wifi module, relay switch,PIR sensor,rain sensor,water level sensor,motor,temerature sensor,humdity sensor, moisture sensor,GSM module,led and buzzer with arduino board all equipment fixed in metalic sheet box

 Step3:

While connecting arduino board and IDE (Integrated Development Environment) through a data cable where this cable helps in providing the voltage required to run the hardware Arduino Board and also to see the serial output. Step 4:

Then once the data is uploaded to arduino hardware and connected to a Arduino IDE, The project starts to work.

 Step 5:

Then based on the behavior of the Sensor, arduino board starts working, following are the functionalities of all the sensor once the board is activated:- Temperature and humidity sensor: initially Once the board is activated, instantly it will start showing the exact temperature and humidity in that particular place. Hence this sensor helps in detecting the temperature and humidity

All system is controlled by andriod app

Benefits of the Project Agility

One of the benefits of using IoT in agriculture is the increased agility of the processes. Thanks to real-time monitoring and prediction systems, farmers can quickly respond to any significant change in weather, humidity, air quality as well as the health of each crop or soil in the field. In the conditions of extreme weather changes, new capabilities help agriculture professionals save the crops.

Improved product quality

Data-driven agriculture helps both grow more and better products. Using soil and crop sensors, aerial drone monitoring and farm mapping, farmers better understand detailed dependencies between the conditions and the quality of the crops. Using connected systems, they can recreate the best conditions and increase the nutritional value of the products.

Excelled efficiency

 Today’s agriculture is in a race. Farmers have to grow more products in deteriorating soil, declining land availability and increasing weather fluctuation. IoT-enabled agriculture allows farmers to monitor their product and conditions in real-time. They get insights fast, can predict issues before they happen and make informed decisions on how to avoid them. Additionally, IoT solutions in agriculture introduce automation, for example, demand-based irrigation, fertilizing and robot harvesting.

Expansion

 By the time we have 9 billion people on the planet, 70% of them will live in urban areas. IoT-based greenhouses and hydroponic systems enable short food supply chains and should be able to feed the people. Smart closed-cycle agricultural systems allow growing food basically everywhere—in supermarkets, on skyscrapers’ walls and rooftops, in shipping containers and, of course, in the comfort of everyone’s home.

Reduced resources

Plenty of ag IoT solutions are focused on optimizing the use of resources—water, energy, land. Precision farming using IoT relies on the data collected from diverse sensors in the field which helps farmers accurately allocate just enough resources to within one plant.

Cleaner process

 Not only do IoT-based systems for precision farming help producers save water and energy and, thus, make farming greener, but also significantly scale down on the use of pesticides and fertilizer. This approach allows getting a cleaner and more organic final product compared to traditional agricultural methods.
