Abstract

As most of the people in India depend on agriculture, there is no sufficient amount of water for agriculture in many areas. There is no rainfall in the most of the areas and farmers water the crops accordingly in the morning. Due to that, excess water that remains at the surface of the crop is evaporating and consumption of water is more. The crops near the forest areas are damaging due to animals. So, the main idea of this project is to use water effectively by using modern methods and also to protect the crops from the animals. The real-time data can be monitored by the farmers using Blynk application. This can be done by using soil moisture sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, solenoidal valve, DC motor connected to microcontroller and motion detection sensor. The sensors gather the information from the fields and water the crops accordingly. If any animals are found near the farm, the LEDs and alarm will turn on automatically to disturb the animals entering into farm. The hardware used in the project is NodeMCU ESP8266 and relays, and the code is computed in Arduino IDE platform. Using these methods, the farm can be monitored and can utilize the water in a better way for enhancing the crop growth. This system can be effectively used by small farmers which reduces the efforts of farmers and labour cost. One can monitor the farm from anywhere using Blynk through online. This will enable farming in water scarce areas also by using water effectively.
