Iot Based Soil Maintenance And Protection Of Crops From Excess Water Using Prediction Algorithm

Abstract

Internet of Things is being used in Smart Agriculture, generally for irrigation purpose. Here, for managing the water log in farmland, IoT is used. The soil moisture in the farmland is monitored using the soil moisture sensor. When the moisture level reaches a particular point, the Cloud Service Brokerage commands the relay to switch ON the suction motor. The suction motor takes out the excess water from the farmland. Our objective with this proposal is to manage the excess water log in the farmland and analyse the availability of micronutrients using IoT. This water managing system is semi-automated in which the system can work on its own or be controlled using a mobile application. Using the DHT sensor readings, the weather at that specific location can be analysed and it can be predicted for the next 10 days with the use of a prediction algorithm. IoT is the concept of connecting all the devices to the Internet and allowing them to communicate with each other over the internet. IoT is a huge network of connected devices – all of which gather and share data about how they are used and the environments in which they are operated. IoT is an application of modern Information and Communication Technologies into agriculture. Sensors are used to build a crop monitoring system. This can be monitored using a mobile application. The application is used to monitor and control the motor switch.
