Utilization of IoT: Automated Seed Plantation based Smart Agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture plays an indispensable role in developing one nation, and water is the primary resource for agriculture. So, using IoT, properly utilizing adequate water in the irrigation process is possible through our smart agri-bot (bot specifically used in smart-agriculture). The soil moisture sensor is used to get moisture data, and as per the microcontroller programming, it automatically ON/OFF the motor of a water pump. Agri-bot is controlled from anywhere as it is connected through the cloud. The bot runs for a specified time, then plants the seeds and covers the field area. The soil moisture status is identified and displayed on board. The Arduino UNO will gather and handle the information got from the sensors. When a limited moisture level of the soil is reached, the water will supply for proper seed plantation. This research is dedicated to farmers, and nursery experts as the utilization of automated smart seed planters replace the conventional techniques for the irrigation process and make a revolutionary change.
