IOT BASED EFFICIENT FARMING TECHNIQUE

Abstract

In our country, an agriculturist is never paid his deserving pay and a consumer always has to buy vegetables from the market in a much higher price than the actual price of farmers. There is a huge gap between the farmer and consumer, as the consumer needs to go to market to buy vegetables. It is to be noted that farmers growing the vegetables in rural areas, may not have an idea about where and whom to sell the vegetables due to lack of exposure to outside world, which results in wastage of most of the harvest.
The main objective is to create an IoT based automation system that monitors the growthofthevegetablesandfruitsande-marketthesameusingapp.Theworkisdivided into two parts. One part of the work is a hardware which is placed in the farm tomonitor the soil parameters and environmental parameters of the farm. The hardware is enabled withthefeaturesofanalyzingthestatusofthefarmwithouttheinvolvementofthe farmer. The technique helps the farmer to predict the growth and development of the yield so that he knows the right time of the harvest. IoT device can connect the network and also it is interlinked with server to update the data directly into the app and also farmer can know the status of the plant by messages through GSMshield.
The second part of the work is a software application which helps the farmers to monitor the farm and fix price of the vegetable in farm. This application is used to fix a price, can check the sensor values and also can control the motor when crop is dry from anywhere and anytime. The technique is used to communicate the farmer and consumer to estimate the harvest via android app.
