Crop selection in agriculture lands using internet of things with ARM

Abstract

Agriculture is the primary occupation in our country for ages. In India about 70% of population depends upon farming and one third of the nation’s capital comes from farming. But now due to migration of people from rural to urban there is hindrance in agriculture. To overcome this problem we go for smart agriculture techniques using Internet Of Things (IOT). The IOT is remodelling the agriculture enabling the farmers with the wide range of techniques such as precision and sustainable agriculture to face challenges in the field. IOT interconnects human to thing, thing to thing and human to human. IOT enables the objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network model. In this project it comprises of sensors that sense the field parameters such as temperature, humidity, moisture and fertility in the farm. The sensed values are validated and later sent to the WI-FI module and from WI-FI module the validated data are sent to the farmer’s mobile or laptop using cloud. The farmers are also notified by SMS if the field needs a care. An algorithm is developed with threshold values of temperature, humidity, moisture and fertility that are programmed into a node Micro Controller Unit (MCU)to control water quantity. Farmer can automate the motor from anywhere in the world.
