IOT Based Smart Agriculture Monitoring System

Baldev Kaur, Manthan Chaudhary, Vipul Pratap Singh and Ayush Kumar

Abstract

Agriculture is the main occupation in our country from many decade. More than 50% population
depend on agriculture. It is the main source of income and it also provide food our survival. But now a
day’s farmers’ faced many problems like soil and water erosion, lack of modern equipment and
machinery, poor irrigation, inadequate storage facilities etc. So overcome this problem we are adopted
smart agriculture techniques using IOT. This technique includes various feature like GPS based remote
controlled monitoring, moisture & temperature sensing, proper irrigation facilities and many more. It
contains the wireless sensor network for gather the information about soil property and environmental
factors continuously.

Conclusion
IOT based smart agriculture system used for
live monitoring of temperature, soil moisture and
monitoring the other environmental factor. We can
conserve ground water through IOT based
agriculture. The wastage of water can be control by
this techniques. Insects and pest can also be better
control by this advance technology. Adopted IOT
based agriculture it increase the productivity and
better quantity & quality of produce. Famers earn
more profit than traditional agriculture. All types of
losses reduces by this smart agriculture techniques.
