Smart agricultural remote monitoring system for better soil health using IoT

Abstract

Technology has played an increasingly important role in all aspects of our lives, farming, which is heavily influenced by various environmental factors, has necessitated the development of new methods to improve crop yield. The existing GSM-based Automated Irrigation system is not as effective and has some drawbacks, so the proposed method aims to develop a more effective Smart Irrigation system. With the help of various sensor configurations, users have addressed the use of IoT technology to assist farmers in detecting significant environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and water level. A water pump controls the flow of water by opening and closing the flow when a signal is sent through the Arduino controller. Drop by drop, water is delivered to the plant's roots by a rain gun, and when the moisture level returns to normal, the sensor detects it and sends a signal to the controller, which shuts down the water pump. Smart Farming using the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with their high sensor systems and output results are possibilities to enable more accurate, network, durable Smart Agricultural systems for better Soil health using IoT.
