Crop Essentials Monitoring System Based on IOT

Abstract: Agriculture has always been a paramount part of India. It not only gives food and employment to half the nation's population but provides a significant part of our GDP. Smart Agriculture is implemented by using modern day technology to increase the quantity and quality and reducing human labor. Farmers often face huge hurdles in the form of insects, climate, water scarcity, lack of nourishment in soil, its pH and diseases which decrease the crop yield and often kills the crop. Here we propose an idea to overcome a problem that is identifying the type of disease and to detect the environmental contents of the soil like moisture, pH, etc. using image processing along with suitable sensors for detection.

Keywords: Image processing, soil moisture, humidity, soil content, crop diseases, sensors
