An Intelligent System for Monitoring and Managing Agricultural Fields

Abstract

Agriculture is a primary concern of every developing nation to maintain their GDP. But most of the processes involved in agricultural sector are still orthodox and inefficient. Though the technology is improving day by day, it is high time to incorporate technology innovations into the field of agriculture for better productivity and resource utilization. We propose an intelligent farming technology with the aid of Internet of Things (IoT) to make various farming techniques smarter and efficient. Various sensors were deployed in the fields to remotely monitor the parameters of soil, water and air. The sensed information is fed to an Android app and it will process the data and alert the farmer if any unusual events occur. Experimental results prove that our model can be used for efficient utilization of agricultural resources like water and fertilizers and thereby improve the productivity and profit.
