IOT BASED IRRIGATION MONITORING AND CONTROLLING SYSTEM (original) (raw)
Agriculture plays an important role in countries' development. More than 72% of people depends directly or indirectly on agriculture sector. Also agriculture sector contributes only 18% of total GDP which employs more than half of the population of country. But farming techniques used in the country nowadays are so traditional that which are not able fulfil food needs as by 2050 India to overtake china to become world's most populous country. By the year there will be serious problem of food security, so developing agriculture sector should be prioritized by linking it with modern technologies. These days' framers are suffering due to uneven rainy water and scarcity of water in various region of country. Whereas region like south India has a lot of water and rain water but natural calamities like cyclone and floods affect farmland and farmers life. From research it is concluded that farmers cannot reach the field to save their crops in situation of natural calamities. So new techniques for farming are required. Developing IOT technologies could be the possible solution to the problems could be used to increase farm production. By using sensors and computer technologies linking together we can make farming more economical, profitable and effortless. This system attempt towards smart irrigation system concept. An electronic device responsible for sensing the temperature and moisture and condition. Along with that Wi-Fi functionality is linked to hardware device which can be controlled remotely through mobile devices. Intensive or excess uses of fertilizers is addition to these problems to eliminate this NPK values which are nitrogen phosphorus and potassium which are generally used fertilizers can be determined in the soil using OPTICAL TRANSDUCER SENSOR setup which could be the possible replacement of costlier NPK SENSOR. It can be used beneficially while all the essential data available for the farmers.
