IOT in Agricultural Crop Protection and Power Generation

Abstract

Agriculture is the science and art of growing plants. Agriculture plays predominant position in the financial improvement of our country and this is the primary profession from many years. To extend the efficiency of the yields and to limit the costs of rural practices we go for smart techniques of agriculture by using IOT technology. Protection of crop during rainy season is major challenge for farmers. By incorporating Greenhouse technology, an environment condition for a crop to grown will created along the various features like sensor based totally monitoring, security, crop safety from excessive rain and automatic roof overlaying facility. Greenhouse is operated in two modes i.e, automatic mode and manual mode. It makes use of telegram app for communicating with the cultivators about various environmental factors continuously. Various sensor nodes are deployed at special locations in the greenhouse. Controlling those parameters are through any remote device or internet services and the operations are completed by means of interfacing sensors, with microcontroller. Power generation and supply is usually a massive problem. This project is also consisting of solar power generation and rainwater harvesting as technology method is implemented along with crop safety.
