Smart Cultivation

Abstract

The proposed project is about a serious issue in today’s world that is insufficient food
production, which prevails in many parts of the world. Farming plays an important role in
food production and economic development in India and in the world as a whole. Getting
high yield from the available land depends on fertility, moisture content of the soil and other
climatic factors. The proposed work helps to overcome this problem, which aims at
developing an automatic fertilizer-irrigation control and management system. It improves
soil porosity and nutrient content through periodic application of required amount of
fertilizers and water for crop’s growth. This will metabolize the soil texture, give nutrients to
the crops, build plant tissues as well as increase the rate of crop productivity. The
implementation of the work is achieved by sensors which include potassium sensor, nitrogen
sensor, humidity sensor and temperature sensor, applying Intelligence technique by using
Arduino nano to control the valve of the irrigation system. The system automatically applies
soluble agrochemical fertilizers and water based on plant needs, as a result of which
productivity is increased to considerable amount to meet out increasing needs.
