IoT BASED FARM AUTOMATION AND CLOUD INTEGRATION

Abstract

SPROUT is the integrated system which execute several operation simultaneously to resolve the issues of farming, which are causing a huge trouble now a days in the society of farmers. In India, agriculture plays an important role for development of food production. Agriculture depends on the monsoons which is not sufficient source of water. So the irrigation is used in agriculture field. In irrigation system depends upon the soil type, water availability, moisture content, etc. In this paper automatic irrigation system which is based on IoT setup. The model shows the basic switching system mechanism of water motor using sensors from any part of field by sensing the moisture, water source, etc. In present days especially farmers are facing major problems in watering their agriculture fields, it's because they have no proper idea about when the power is available so that they can pump water. Even after then they need to wait until the field is properly watered, which makes them to stop doing other activities. Here is an idea which helps not only farmers even for watering the gardens also, which senses the soil moisture and switches the pump automatically why the power is 'ON'. Every hour a SMS notification is sent to the farmer's mobile about the present condition of the farm. Current temperature, pH(potential of Hydrogen) level of the soil & possibility of rain data can be accessed the Web-interface.
