Intelligent Crop Monitoring and Protection System in Agricultural fields Using IoT
Water is a most important natural resource available for mankind. We have to utilize in very economical way because of increase in the population, urbanization or many more factors. In agricultural sector water plays vital role in production, if we supply water in unsystematic way to the crops which leads to waste of water and also it effects on crop yield. The paper aims at using a scientific way of irrigation system which is based on moisture content of the soil. To implement this smart irrigation system we have used Arduino microcontroller and few sensors, these sensors will monitor the moisture content in the soil, based on the moisture level water pump will turn on or off this leads to optimal usage of water in a scientific way, and also we are monitoring the temperature and humidity of agricultural (using temperature and humidity sensors) field same information will be sent to the user mobile or to the system using GSM and IoT technology, IR sensors are also used to detect any intruder entering to the crop field. This scientific way helps the formers to reduce the manpower, reduces the physical monitoring the crop fields and also increases the production in the agricultural sectors.
