Farmers assistant innovation and resolution web server based plant monitoring for smart irrigation

Abstract

In this study, we propose a simple and efficient, low-cost power controlled embedded system for smart agriculture implementing portable user-driven models for Internet of Things tools and sensors that provides agriculturists ecologically suitable means to use viable resources like pesticides and water in a regulated manner in the farming land. Our proposed work uses soil moisture sensor to sense the moisture conditions of the soil. Based on moisture sensor values, a water pump is connected to be switched on and off automatically. The proposed Farmers Assistant Innovation and Resolution system monitors the environmental aspects such as the soil temperature, moisture, amount of light the plant exposed to pH of soil using Internet of Things and then formulates the different resolution techniques for soil health monitoring and innovation approaches in plant growth. This system is more competent as an automatic irrigation system playing its role in irrigation of field. The system is also capable of removing pests if and when necessary with the aid of image processing technique. At the same time, using GSM, the Node MCU forwards message on farmers mobile about pump status. The micro controller receives the pump status, moisture condition of the soil and moisture and temperature in air or enclosed region and provides this information over a data acquisition device. The system can be utilized in varied domains by regulating the voltage necessary including mobile phone charging, access drip irrigation and also weather data monitoring and irrigation facilities.
