Smart Farming: Unleashing Power of IoT Solutions in Indian Agricultural System

Abstract

Internet of Things is growing very popularly for supplying and accessing all the real-world information. For easy and quick access to data, many devices are now being connected to the internet [1]. On the basis of the internet of things, the agricultural system developed and used by farmers for easy and fast access to the devices used by them in the field, like pH-meter, water motor, street lights, and sprinkler. Using internet of things in agricultural activities, a farmer can on and off the water motor anytime he wants. To supply water to the field, the farmer will turn on the motor, which will suck water from well and then it get supplied to the field. When the water level reaches to a normal level the farmer will turn off the motor through a web browser.[2] Also the pH value of the crop plays a very important role while growing plants, a farmer can keep updated by the pH value of the crop by anyplace. This reduces farmer’s manual work of every time checking the pH value at every place of the field differently. The aim of designing street light is for saving energy.[3] This project gives solution for electrical power wastage, in this, a person can ON and OFF the streetlights by seating at any place. Using Automatic farming irrigation allows farmers to supply the right amount of water at the right time to the crops, regardless of the availability the labor to turn the motor on and off. This will help the farmer to save water and time.[4] This system will not only help the farmer in gaining information of his own farm because it will also help him to update with the new devices used in this world for agricultural purposes. The farmer will be able to get access to and supply the information using web technology on his mobile device. [5]
