Design and Implementation of IOT Based Smart Agriculture (ATM) System

Abstract

Agriculture plays vital role in the development of agricultural country. In India about 70% of population depends upon farming and one third of the nation’s capital comes from farming. Issues concerning agriculture have been always hindering the development of the country. The only solution to this problem is smart agriculture by modernizing the current traditional methods of agriculture. Hence the project aims at making agriculture smart using automation and IoT technologies. The highlighting features of this project is Analyzing, Testing, and Monitoring (ATM). Analyzing site-specific crop depending upon the water and weather condition with the help of pre-defined parameter as well as with correct testing data’s. Testing soil fertility which includes parameter like pH level, Temperature, Moisture, Light, Humidity, and Percentage of the essential mineral elements like Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Monitoring crop growth involved several process, by using electrochemical sensor system monitors the Moisture, Temperature and even essential minerals. Secondly it includes smart irrigation with smart control and intelligent decision making based on accurate real time field data. Thirdly it gives importance on crop protection tasks like weeding, spraying, moisture sensing, bird and animal scaring, keeping vigilance, etc. Controlling of all these operations will be through any remote smart device or computer connected to Internet and the operations will be performed by interfacing electrochemical sensors, IoT, Wi-Fi or ZigBee modules, camera and actuators with micro-controller and raspberry pi, smart water management.
