Revolutionizing Automated Agriculture: A Brief Overview of an Advanced Smart Agriculture System Using Arduino UNO

Abstract

This project presents a Smart Agriculture System that uses sensor technologies to improve crop monitoring and automate irrigation procedures. A variety of sensors are integrated into the system, such as a temperature sensor, a gas sensor, a photodiode for ambient light sensing, and a soil moisture sensor. When taken as a whole, these sensors offer real-time information on the concentrations of gases, ambient light levels, temperature fluctuations, and soil conditions in agricultural environments. The system’s primary function is to continuously monitor soil moisture levels in order to determine when irrigation is necessary. A water pump is activated when a predetermined moisture threshold is reached, guaranteeing timely and precise irrigation for the best possible crop growth. By monitoring the climate, the temperature sensor helps determine the environmental factors that affect crop health. Farmers can monitor important parameters with ease thanks to the convenient and user-friendly interface that the real-time display of sensor data on an LCD screen provides. Furthermore, by measuring the amount of natural light present, the ambient light sensor helps the system to optimize planting schedules and comprehend the impact of sunlight on crop development. The addition of a gas sensor expands the capabilities of the system by identifying possible environmental risks or variations in gas concentrations that could have an impact on crop quality. In addition to providing farmers with useful information about the health of their crops, this integrated smart agriculture system makes irrigation automation easier, saving water and increasing overall agricultural productivity. Due to its flexibility and scalability, the system is an invaluable resource for contemporary precision agriculture, contributing to sustainable farming practices and increased crop yields.
