Precision Farm Monitoring using Internet of Things

Abstract

Agricultural fields are segregated into different sizes and structure. Effective usage of modern technologies like Information and communication technology will reduce the manual effort involved in field monitoring and other agricultural activities. Internet of Things which consist of sensors connected to Internet can be used in smart farming to enhance the precision agriculture productivity. Soil parameter estimation is important role in predicting the crop growth. Soil moisture content has to be monitored regularly for effective management of water resources. Moisture sensors are used to retrieve the value of moisture content in the soil. DH22 sensor is used to retrieve temperature and humidity parameters. These values are monitored consistently and used to draw the insight between temperature and humidity parameters. It is also used to design automated irrigation system which saves the water resources. Smart phones and Web presentations gives effective communication among small scale farmers.
