Abstract

Smart farming technologies have empowered farmers which help them to compete with significant problems they face through much better remedies. The growth pattern and environmental parameters of crop growth provide scientific guidance and optimum countermeasures for agricultural production. The proposed system uses a Raspberry Pi board and an array of sensors—PIR sensor, pH sensor, and capacitance dielectric soil moisture sensor, and is robust and more accurate than existing systems in tracking the soil contents and the security of the crops. If soil nutrient, pH, or moisture of the soil is not at par with the requirements for a given crop the user will be notified to take action using an alarm sent through buzzer and LED. A monitoring system (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB-D sensor) is deployed to regularly check the status of the crops such that in case of pest attacks or when the crop health looks degraded it can be efficiently noted and necessary steps can be taken. The various data generated is stored in the cloud ...
