Development of Internet of Things (IoT) based smart irrigation system for sugarcane crop

Abstract

This work focuses on the impact of climate change on agriculture water for sugarcane crop of Gujarat region and alternatively, IoT (Internet of Things) technology to be proposed for decision making and irrigating water requirement of the crop. Agriculture is a major source of income for Indians and Agribusiness has a major effect on India's economy. Sugarcane is an important crop utilized for bioenergy and sugar. It is one of the world's major crops that for the most part develop in the tropic and subtropic areas. Climate and atmosphere related occasions such as development condition of atmospheric CO2, temperature, rainfall, and other extraordinary weather conditions are the key components for sugarcane production around the world. So reasonable conditions and appropriate moisture in beds of the crop can play a noteworthy job for crop production. Generally, irrigation of sugarcane crop is done by conventional techniques in which stream flows from end to end. The organization of the irrigation framework can be upgraded using automated watering structure. In this paper automation of irrigation system using soil moisture sensors and solenoid valves has been proposed. For implementing the system Arduino Uno and Esp8266 Node MCU microcontrollers have been proposed for gathering information from soil moisture sensor, and operations of solenoid valves and water pump.
