Abstract

Although severe food insecurity remains in many regions of the globe, raising agricultural output in a sustainable way is now a feasible goal. Farming is critical to global food supply and economic prosperity. High yields from agricultural food are dependent on the fertility of land, moisture in the soil, and other climate factors. This article is intended to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) system that is based for monitoring soil conditions and automating fertilization processes in agriculture. The system includes sensors that measure soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels, which are then transmitted to a central control unit using wireless communication. The control unit processes the data and makes decisions about when and how much fertilizer to apply based on predefined rules and algorithms. An auto-fertilizer feeder device is also integrated into the system to dispense the needed quantity of fertiliser at the proper moment. This technique has the capacity to greatly increase agricultural yields and reduce labor costs for farmers, while also promoting sustainable agriculture practices by minimizing fertilizer waste and protecting the environment.
