Smart Agricultural Environment Monitoring System using IOT

Abstract

Agriculture is the chief support of an economy and the pivotal sector for ensuring food security. The agriculture sector recorded satisfactory growth due to improved technology, irrigation, inputs and pricing policies.But now due to migration of farmers from rural to urban there is hindrance in agriculture. To overcome this problem we go for smart agricultural environment monitoring techniques using IOT. The Internet of things (IOT) is remodeling the agriculture enabling the farmers with the wide range of techniques such as precision and sustainable agriculture to face challenges in the field. IOT interconnects human to thing, thing to thing and human to human. IOT enables the objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network model. The paper comprises of sensors that sense the field parameters such as phlevel,temperature, humidity,moisture and fertility in the farm. The sensed values are validated and later sent to the WI-FI module and from WI-FI module the validated data are sent to the farmer’s mobile or laptop using cloud. The farmers are also notified by SMS if the field needs a care. An algorithm is developed with threshold values of temperature, humidity, moisture and fertility that are programmed into a node MCU to control water quantity. Now the farmer can automate the motor from anywhere in the world.
