PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Agriculture and safe food generation are important challenges in human life that have been the subject of many IoT systems.
Especially, producing organic agriculture products has several economic, health and environmental benefits. Traditional agricultural activities are based on experience and manufacturer-oriented processes, which has a high margin of fault and inefficiency. The opportunity of using the temperature, humidity, wind, movement and light sensors effectively may improve the efficiency of agricultural activities.
INTRODUCTION:
World is changing as time and so agriculture. Nowadays, people are integrating electronics in every field and agriculture is not exception for this.
This merging of electronics in agriculture is helping farmers and people who manages gardens. In this article we will see how to monitor and how to manage gardening and agriculture.
We will use (ESP8266) controlling module for IOT and we will update the data on cloud and based on readings we will take the appropriate action.
In this project we have used sensors like temperature sensor, soil moisture level sensor and we will use water pump to react on the sensors data. Apart from this we can use lots of sensors to monitor.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Internet of Things (IoT) enables various applications of crop growth monitoring and selection, automatic irrigation decision support, etc.
We proposed ESP8266 IoT Automatic irrigation system to modernize and improve the productivity of the crop. We will use Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor to measure moisture content present in the soil.
Similarly to measure Air Temperature and Humidity, we prefer DHT11 Humidity Temperature Sensor.
Using a 5V Power relay we will control the Water Pump. Whenever the sensor detects a low quantity of moisture in the soil, the motor turns on automatically. Hence, will automatically irrigate the field.
Once the soil becomes wet, the motor turns off.
We have developed our product in small scale. while changing this into large scale we need an industrialsed sensors.
