Abstract

Internet Of Things (IOT)is a shared network of objectsor things which can interact with each other provided the internet connection. IOT plays an important role in agriculture industry. Smart Agriculture helps to reduce wastage, effective usage of fertilizer and thereby increase the crop yield. In this work, a system is developed to monitor crop-field using sensors (soil moisture, temperature, humidity, Light) and automate the irrigation system. The data from sensors are collected and sent to web server database using wireless transmission. In server database the data are encoded. The irrigation is automated if the moisture and temperature of the field falls below the brink. In greenhouses light intensity control can also be automated in addition to irrigation. The notifications are sent to farmers’ mobile periodically. The farmers’ can able to monitor the field conditions from anywhere With the continuous monitoring of various parameters, the grower can analyze the optimal environmental conditions to achieve maximum crop productiveness, for the better productivity and to achieve remarkable energy savings.
