IOT based smart farming using TVWS

Abstract

This project uses IOT as its domain which plays the key part in smart agriculture. Checking environmental factors is one of the key points to enhance the yield of the harvest. The idea behind this project is smart farming which uses IoT sensors that are capable of giving information or data about the farming fields. Since the information is utilized and processed by computerization, the whole process is efficient. In this system we’ll be having an Arduino based programmed IOT system which enhances the efficiency of the yield and also incorporates different sensors like observing proximity sensor, nitrogen sensor, soil moisture, infrared radiation, water level and smoke sensor in the farming field and for the purpose of storing cultivated products temperature control sensor is used. In this system, with the help of VPS hosting, we host a dedicated server which reflects the computerized data collected from the sensors and creates a way to track down the collected data lively. IoT without internet is an absolute waste so in order to provide the best internet connectivity we are using TV White space technology which is basically revolutionizing traditional broadband connectivity. This technology refers to the unused TV channels between the dynamic ones in the UHF range and these unused range can be used to provide internet access which has the greatest coverage and will also eliminate internet connectivity issues. The objective of this work is mainly the crop advancement at low source utilization and also to use the available water at the required time efficiently and the objective is only possible if there is internet access for which TV white space technology is also a primary consideration. The proposed system is completely built on the information sent from the sensors and hence the system will calculate the optimal condition for achieving maximum yield and can predict the effective utilization of sources at different conditions.
