Abstract

Agriculture plays an essential role in this world. In addition to other nations, India makes up the majority of the world's contribution to agriculture and its linked industries. Eighty-one percent of its farmers are tiny and marginal, providing a source of income for seventy-two percent of its rural households. However, modern agriculture faces many complex challenges, including how to cope with climatic conditions, soil erosion, poor irrigation techniques & poor quality, etc. To overcome these problems, IoT sensors like Soil moisture sensors, Ultrasonic sensors & Bosch’s BMP280 environment monitor sensors are used. These sensors allow us to predict temperature, altitude, humidity, soil moisture, atmospheric pressure, etc. Using mobile applications and statistics of the most-in-demand crop at a specific time of year can be analysed. The primary seasonal plants are split into two broad groups, for example, crops sown at the start of the winter season are known as Rabi crops, and crops sown at the start of the monsoon season, are known as Kharif crops. Each crop needs a particular set of climatic conditions to grow well. The goal of the project is to present a Smart Cultivation System that is based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This system will help farmers get real-time data for effective environmental monitoring, which will help them increase production and product quality.
