Smart Agriculture Using Polyhouse

Abstract

Agriculture plays a great role in the development of agricultural country like India. Issues related to agriculture have been always hindering the development of the country. Each year many crops go waste due to a lack of optimal climatic conditions to support the growth of crops. Losses of around 11 billion dollars are reported in India each year alone. The farmers in India suffer a lot due to the low productivity. The only way out to this problem is smart agriculture by modernizing the current traditional methods of agriculture. Hence it aims at making agriculture smart using automation, Machine learning and IoT technologies. Polyhouse is one such method in implementing smart agriculture. Automated polyhouses are very useful in maintaining most of the adverse factors. It includes various types of sensors connected with a database. Smart Agriculture is a solution for monitoring air temperature, soil moisture, humidity, sunlight exposure, water required, etc. It becomes difficult for a human to maintain all these aspects at a time, thus smart agriculture becomes a necessary. This paper proposes a model for polyhouse using various sensors. Using this technology, data from various sensors will be analyzed to help in decision making.
