IOT Based Smart Agriculture System

Smart agriculture is an emerging concept, because IOT sensors are capable of providing information about agriculture fields and then act upon based on the user input. In this Paper, it is proposed to develop a Smart agriculture System that uses advantages of cutting edge technologies such as Arduino, IOT and Wireless Sensor Network. The paper aims at making use of evolving technology i.e. IOT and smart agriculture using automation. Monitoring environmental conditions is the major factor to improve yield of the efficient crops. The feature of this paper includes development of a system which can monitor temperature, humidity, moisture and even the movement of animals which may destroy the crops in agricultural field through sensors using Arduino board and in case of any discrepancy send a SMS notification as well as a notification on the application developed for the same to the farmer’s smartphone using Wi-Fi/3G/4G. The system has a duplex communication link based on a cellularInternet interface that allows for data inspection and irrigation scheduling to be programmed through an android application. Because of its energy autonomy and low cost, the system has the potential to be useful in water limited geographically isolated areas.
