Collaborating Technologies for Evolution in Agriculture

Abstract

India is rightly said 'The land of Agriculture', the main part of income in India is agriculture. Ever since people learned to grow crops, harvest and sell them to market. But the farmers are not aware about the fact that changes in weather conditions, pests, soil fertility and diseases etc. affects the final outcome and they have grown the same crops for centuries. Now there is need to formulate techniques for smart and sustainable agriculture. Smart in sense, employment of technologies such as IoT, Cloud computing, Big data etc. In this proposed system, we emerge sensors into farmland and then Soil and environment properties are sensed, are periodically sent to cloud through IoT.The Cloud is used to store the details of farmers, periodic soil properties of farmlands, and current environmental conditions also information about crop diseases. The Big data analysis on data is done for fertilizer requirements, best crop sequence analysis, and for better cop production.
