Implementation of IoT in Agriculture: A Scientific Approach for Smart Irrigation

Digital technologies empower the transformation into data-driven, intelligent, agile, and autonomous farm operations and are typically considered a key to addressing the grand challenges in agriculture. To avoid unscientific water supply for plantation as well as to save the water and also yield the better crop, therefore, to increase production efficiency out of smart irrigation and to send the status of irrigation at standard environmental conditions, The Internet of Things (IoT) based prototype is designed and implemented. The prototype automatically turns ON /OFF the motor pump based on the moisture level of the soil by taking the temperature and humidity of the environment near the plantation into consideration (In India, the standard parameters for watering the vegetable plantation are Humidity>60%, Temperature < 25°C and Humidity
