Ayurvedic Medicine Beetel Leaf Vine Cultivation Using IoT & Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract
Introduction
The wireless networking finds application in many fields and has enabled almost
instant data transmission without laying long cables and related hardware.
This project is aimed at implementing small sensors to form a WSN system to aid
in ayurvedic farming where it is very essential to grow herbs at proper soil
conditions like temperature, humidity etc.,. Different medicinal plants like beetel
leaf, tulsi, mint, turmeric need different climatic conditions. So this project can be
used to study the required conditions for growing different ayurvedic herbs.

Description
Soil moisture sensors are placed in the soil at different places within the
vineyard. Output of these sensors, are given to the ADC unit of the
microcontroller. Based on the program embedded within the
microcontroller the voltages generated by the soil sensors are displayed
on the LCD.
For demo purpose LCD is used to display the changes in output voltages
of accelerometer and any event occurring.
In the current scenario there is no existing system that employs IOT and WSN for
farming. Farmers are indeed hard-workers whose bread and butter depend on the
quality of the agricultural growth of crops. By employing IOT and WSN concept in
agricultural the work as well as health life of a farmer can change to a better
condition.

Literature
The progress of the precision agriculture passes by collecting and interpreting huge
amounts of data from the field so as to understand the causes of variability and
propose strategies for field management. The most important agricultural process
which can be controlled and adapted to better suit the plants growth is related to
irrigation. First and foremost there is the need to identify the tools used to acquire
the generated data in order to be analyzed and compared. The amount of data is
enormous. If this data is not organized and processed, it will become meaningless.

Advantages
A simple economical module has been designed here - useful for
agriculturists.
Easy to develop and maintain.
Can use server data for soil analysis.
Disadvantages
Absence of power supply to the unit may not update the server on timely
basis.
If sensors like accelerometer are exposed to water, the component and circuit
will be damaged.
Future Scope:
In an era, where highly advanced medicine has many side-effects on the human
body organs, people are turning towards Ayurveda medicinal treatment. However
due to growing infrastructure development and unpredictable weather conditions,
critical Ayurvedic herbs are severely affected. With the help of WSN and IOT
project in place, farmers, cultivating sensitive herbs, such as the beetel leaf, for
Ayurvedic medicines, can do so with timely monitoring of any changes in
environmental conditions and other necessary factors, remotely.
