IoT Based Power Efficient Agro Field Monitoring and Irrigation Control System : An Empirical Implementation in Precision Agriculture

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has been flourishing the communication and networking system in recent years, while experiencing a growing phase in agricultural field. Precision agriculture requires sensor integration, automatic control, and networking and data processing capabilities. With the implementation of rapidly growing IoT, challenges of scalability and data management can be overcome. In this research, we have developed an IoT based smart monitoring system for agricultural practice including client application- web application and android application; and designed a controlling system for power efficient irrigation. We have used LoRa, wireless RF transceiver to overcome the limitations of area coverage and have enabled to established real time data communication. While our android application makes this system feasible for users. Real time data were collected deploying the system and empirical data has been included in the result section.
