IOT based Crop Monitoring system for Smart Farming

摘要

A large proportion of freshwater is wasted in agricultural use, which leads to poor distribution of clean water that causes imbalance in soil saturation and vegetation. Special irrigation must be carried out in the agricultural sector. An Internet of Things (IOT) device is any device that can be overseen through the web. IOT in agriculture utilizes an insightful system for monitoring the vegetation, by planning and reviewing the fields and provide information to the farmers for objective homestead control intends to save both time and money. In terms of agriculture, the environment is changing with time. Electronics are being integrated into every industry, including agriculture. Agriculturists profit from the convergence of electronics and agriculture. There are systems that use technology for the detection of factors required to enhance farming. However, these systems need to be deployed individually to obtain the desired results. In this paper, the way to monitor and manage gardening as well as agriculture is proposed. ESP32 controlling module for IOT is used and the information is updated on the cloud, now with the help of the measurements the required acceptable action is taken. In this work, some sensors such as the Light dependent Resistors(LDR), temperature sensors, Soil Moisture sensors are used, also a pump to respond to the sensors' particulars. This system will enable us to monitor the growth of the crop or plant by controlling the water flow to the crop using motor.
