ABSTRACT
Abstract to be followed by
Agriculture is done in every country from ages. Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating
plants. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization. Agriculture is
done manually from ages. As the world is trending into new technologies and implementations it is a
necessary goal to trend up with agriculture also. IOT plays a very important role in smart agriculture. IOT
sensors are capable of providing information about agriculture fields. we have proposed an IOT and
smart agriculture system using automation. This IOT based Agriculture monitoring system makes use of
wireless sensor networks that collects data from different sensors deployed at various nodes and sends it
through the wireless protocol. This smart agriculture using IOT system is powered by Arduino, it consists
of Temperature sensor, Moisture sensor, water level sensor, DC motor and GPRS module. When the IOT
based agriculture monitoring system starts it checks the water level, humidity and moisture level. It sends
SMS alert on the phone about the levels. Sensors sense the level of water if it goes down, it automatically
starts the water pump. If the temperature goes above the level, fan starts. This all is displayed on the LCD
display module. This all is also seen in IOT where it shows information of Humidity, Moisture and water
level with date and time, based on per minute. Temperature can be set on a particular level, it is based on
the type crops cultivated. If we want to close the water forcefully on IOT there is button given from
where water pump can be forcefully stopped.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction :
Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection or network of physical devices that is

interrelatedcomputing devices, digital and mechanical machines, people or animals, objects that
can sense, accumulate and transfer data over web without any human involvement. Everything
is provided with unique identifier. It is a progressed examination and mechanized frameworks
which uses detecting, organizing, enormous information and man-made consciousness
innovation to convey total framework for an administration. Basically IoT is about extending
the power of internet beyond smart phones and computers.
IoT has changed today’s world. Smart cities, smart car, smart homes everything
around us can be turned into a smart device with the help of IoT. It also has applications in
agriculture, business sectors, healthcare, transport and logistics.
There are four main components of IoT-
Low power embedded system- High performance and less battery consumption are the
inverse factors that play an important role in design of electronic system.
Cloud computing- Data collected from devices is stored on reliable storage servers so
here cloud computing comes into action.
Availability of Big Data- As IoT is highly dependent on sensors that are real time. So the
usage of electronic devices is spread throughout every field that is going to trigger a massive
flux of data.
Network connection- For communication, internet connectivity is necessary where each
physical object is assigned by an IP address. A network connection is build between the
devices with the help of these addresses
Technology today has not reached its 100% capability. So the advantages and
disadvantages of this technology are given below-
Advantages of IoT
1. Utilization of Resources Efficiently
2. Minimization of Human Efforts
3. Time-saving
4. Increase Data Collection

Figure 1.1 Description of IoT
1.2 IoT in Agriculture:
Internet of Things has capacity to transform the lives of people in the world in an
efficient manner. The ever growing population would touch more than 3 billions in few years.
So to feed such an immense population, agriculture industry need to embrace IoT. The
demand for more food has to address challenges that include excessive climate conditions,
weather change and different environmental affects that results from farming practices. From
survey of United Nations – Food and Agriculture Organisations, the world wide food
production should be increased by 70% in 2050 for evolving population.Agriculture is the
basis for the human species as it is the main source of food and it plays important role in the
growth of country’s economy. It also gives large ample employment opportunities to the
people. The farmers are still using traditional methods for agriculture, which results in low
yielding of crops and fruits. So the crop yield can be improved by using automatic
machineries. There is need to implement modern science and technology in the agriculture
for increasing the yield. By using IoT, we can expect. the increase in production with low
cost by monitoring the efficiency of the soil, temperature and humidity monitoring, rain fall
monitoring, fertilizers efficiency, monitoring storage capacity of water tanks and also theft
detection in agriculture areas.

Figure 1.2 Smart Farming
The destiny of Indian agriculture must be worked with understanding and excessive cease
technologies that can expand production and furthermore regains the attention of farmers in
this industry. So these smart farming techniques would assist farmers to lessen scrap and
enhance capacity. It is basically a high tech and capital intensive system for growing crops in
a sustainable manner for masses. This technology can help farmers to monitor field
conditions from anywhere with the help of sensors and can also irrigate fields with an
automated system. It is the application of Information and Communication Technology into
the field of agriculture.
1.3 Structure of IoT in Agriculture :
Basically this system structure consists of 3 layers that are sensor layer, transport layer,
application layer and the functions of these layers are below –
1)Sensor layer- One of the challenge of the sensor layer is to obtain automated and real time
transformations of the figures of actual world agricultural manufacturing into digital
transformation or information which could be processed in virtual world through different or
various means. The data that they collect are-
 Sensor information- Humidity, temperature, gas concentrations, pressure etc.
 Products information- name, model, price and features.
 Working condition - operating parameters of different equipments, apparatus etc.
3
 Location information
The major challenge of Information layer is to mark diverse kinds of information or data and
gathering the information and marked information in the actual world by means of techniques
of sensing, after which remodels them for processing into digital information. This sensor
layer includes some strategies- RFID tags, cameras, two dimension code labels, sensor
networks.
1) Transport layer- This layer’s task is to acquire and summarize the data of agriculture
acquired from the above layer for processing. It is believed as the nerve centre of IoT. This
layer includes the combination of telecommunication management centre and also internet
network, information centre, smart processing centres.
2) Application layer- The function of this layer is to analyse and process the information
collected for the cultivation of digital awareness of actual world. It is considered as a fusion
of IoT and agricultural market intelligence.
Benefits of IoT in Agriculture :
 IoT empowers simple gathering and the executives of huge amounts of information which
is gathered from sensors used and with the help of joining of distributed evaluating
administrations such as cloud storage, farming field maps and more information can be
retrieved from any place and everywhere which enables live monitoring and connectivity
which is end to end.
 IoT is viewed as an important segment for smart farming because with precise use of
sensors and also the smart gadgets, farmers could expand the output by 72% upto year
2050 as delineated by specialists.
 By the use of IoT creations expenses could be diminished to an astounding dimension that
would thus expand productivity and survivability.
 By the use of IoT efficiency level would be further expanded as far as utilization of water,
soil, fertilizers, pesticides etc.
Applications of IoT in Agriculture:
 Precision farming
 Agricultural drones
 Livestock monitoring

1.4 MOTIVATION :
Different kind of problems faced by the farmers motivated us for the recommended
system that are: the Indian farming is on the hitch because of the limited technical know how
of the best and efficient agricultural practices and moreover they are still dependent on
conventional methods of agriculture that leads to lesser productivity of crops. So by using
upcoming technology the productivity of crops can be maximized at minimal cost. This also
reduces burden of taking up of heavy loans on farmers which they have incurred on
themselves in order to sustain their livings or to get good yields of their crops. Apart from
these issues scarcity of resources also adds up in their problem causing hindrance or stopping
framers from cultivating and hence Indian economy is also additionally getting influenced to
large extent as most of the fruitful lands of the nation are being destroyed that forms the vital
part of GDP.So through this framework we are presenting solution for this issue by
introducing an automated and systematic farming strategies that enable farmers to cultivate in
a productive way also with limited resources and greater yield which is assured and efficient.
1.5 OBJECTIVES :
1. To update farmers with the new technology and to avoid manual labour.
2. To reduce wastage of water and enhance productivity of crops by providing them ideal
condition.
3. To meet the difficulties such as severe weather conditions and advancing climate change,
6
and environmental consequences resulting from intensive farming practices.

4. Design a model and connect it to the android app and cloud server.

CHAPTER 2
Literature Survey
2.1 Literature Review:
Internet Of Things (IoT)is a shared network of objects or things which can interact
with each other provided the internet connection. IoT plays an important role in agriculture
industry which can feed 9.6 billion people on the Earth by 2050. Smart Agriculture helps to
reduce wastage, effective usage of fertilizer and thereby increase the crop yield. In this work,
a system is developed to monitor crop-field using sensors (soil moisture, temperature,
humidity, Light).
In this paper, authors S. Sivacharan,K. Balkrishnan, K. Navin propose an embedded

soil analyser with measures the pH value of the soil and based on this value gives measure of
various soil nutrients. This model helps in prediction of the soil sequence based on the
availability of nutrients. Many techniques monitors various soil parameters and this paper
points at soil fertility. The main aim of this model is to replace the conventional method of
soil testing by automated soil testing.
This paper presents an IoT based smart stick that enables live monitoring of the
different agricultural parameters. This stick helps farmer acquire live data of temperature, soil
moisture. The agricultural IoT stick gives the idea of plug and measures in which farmers can
instantly enact smart monitoring system by positioning the stick in the field and obtaining
live data feeds on different smart gadgets like smart tablets, phones etc.
In this paper, the author Anand Nayyar,Er. Vikram Puri proposes a model where the
flow and direction of water is supervised and controlled. This is done with the help of
DHTT11 and soil moisture sensor. This method also proposes a way to select the direction of
water and this information is also sent to the phone and gmail account of the farmer. This
model also enables the farmer to switch on and off the motor with a single click..
In this paper, author Apurva C. Pusatkar,Vijay S. Gulhane focus on using WSN that is
Wireless Sensor Network. Use of WSN helps in real time monitoring of the agricultural field.
In addition to the conventional parameters like humidity, temperature and soil moisture, this
paper focuses on water level, flood, wind direction, wind speed, weather etc.
The average productivity in India is less than the world average and this paper
presents a way to attain ‘evergreen revolution’ in agriculture. Fertilizers play a vital role in
good yield but imbalanced use of P, K, N causes decrease in crop production.
8
In many research papers it is devised that information must be collected from

different sensors and live monitoring should be done but in this research paper the stress is
laid on getting things automated. In this paper the writers aims at increasing the crop yield by
using different technologies. It also presents a cost efficient WSN for getting information
from humidity sensor, soil moisture sensor and temperature sensors.
In this paper author Dr. N. Suma, S.R. Samson, S. Saranya focus on using GSM
technique. Also PIR sensor is used in addition which can’t detect temperature, humidity and
sun light intensity but it detect movement of animals and human.
This paper presents proposed model for smart agriculture to develop real time
monitoring system for soil properties like temperature, moisture, pH and to implement
decision support advisory models for Pest & Disease forewarning, Crop Disease
identification using image analysis and SMS based alerts. It will also be possible to control
various operations of the field remotely from anywhere, anytime by mobile as well as web
application.Ubi sense sensor having temperature,humidity,light intensity,barometric sensor.
UbiSense reads values from sensor, detects Proximity IR LED and generates an alarm
through Buzzer. It transmits the measured physical value from the Ubi-Sense mote over the
Air.
IoT and smart agriculture using automation. Monitoring environmental factors is the
major factor to improve the yield of the efficient crops. The feature of this paper includes
monitoring temperature and humidity in agricultural field through sensors using CC3200
single chip. Camera is interfaced with CC3200 to capture images and send that pictures
through MMS to farmers mobile using Wi-Fi.
This paper has described the designandimplementationofourIoT-
basedmonitoringsystem.Adevicecombined with sensors node and a sink node, a server, and a
smartphone application is used for this system. In this work, the field data monitoring device
is a composition of a microcontroller, GSM module, Bluetooth module, SD card module, and
various sensors to acquire data from an agriculture field and transmit it to a server through
GSM network. On the other end, the Web interface written in PHP is implemented to connect
to a database directly. And a smartphone application has been developed to display all the
data. Furthermore, this implementation is low cost (approximately 40$–50$ for each node)
and easily accessible..
This paper presents several existing sensor-based M2M agriculture monitoring
systems with their working principles. Most of these monitoring systems are implemented for
farmers in developed countries. However, a few iterative, participatory sensor-based
agriculture monitoring systems are being designed and implemented in developing
9
countries. As the
10
information requirements of the farmers and socio-economic conditions in developing

countries are different than those in developed countries, the agriculture monitoring systems
for developing countries have different design requirements and technological frameworks.
Authors also presented the key features on which these monitoring systems differ in
developed and developing countries. Finally, authors came up with the design and
implementation of a novel sensor-based M2M agriculture monitoring system for developing
countries. They classify M2M system.
In this paper, the IoT based agriculture parameter monitoring system for a smart
agriculture system is presented. The system measures temperature, humidity, moisture, and
pH using the respective sensors. These values are uploaded on the thinger.io IoT platform
using nodeMCU. These values can be monitor from anywhere. Another facility includes in
this approach is animal detection using the IR sensor. This system can prove to be very
helpful for farmers to monitor the soil parameters and environmental parameters from the IoT
platform. By selecting the predefined threshold for humidity, temperature, moisture, and pH,
an alert can be produced for anomaly detection. The system also senses the attack of animals
which is a prime reason for the reduction in the production of crops.
2.2 Need for Present study:
Agriculture is the most important sector for humankind to survive their existence. It
enhances a big concern to manage food for people all over the world. Most of the farmers
follow very traditional methods to cultivate their crops. They used to be present physically on
their farm to monitor crops. Use of technology can make this job easier and time efficient.
Internet of things (IoT) is a technology which can send or receive any data to a server using
the Internet. Using this technology, farmers can monitor the actual condition of the crops
without being present in their field. In this paper, we have proposed a system to monitor the
farming field with the help of IoT technology. This system allows various devices and sensors
to send data over the Internet. It enables farmers to monitor their field remotely from their
home by using a smartphone or a computer. The major problem faced in many agricultural
areas isthat lack of mechanization in agricultural activities. In India agricultural activities is
carried out by manual labor, using conventional tools such as plough, sickle etc. Our Smart
Farming System reduces the manual work and automates the agricultural activities.
The combination of traditional methods with latest technologies as Internet of Things
and Wireless Sensor Networks can lead to agricultural modernization. The Wireless Sensor
Network which collects the data from different types of sensors and send it to the main server
11
using wireless protocol. There are many other factors that affect the productivity to great
extent. Factors include attack of insects and pests which can be controlled by spraying the
proper insecticide and pesticides and also attack of wild animals and birds when the crop
grows up. The crop yield is declining because of unpredictable monsoon rainfalls, water
scarcity and improper water usage.
2.3 Proposed Approach:
Using the Internet of Things Technology for supervising agriculture parameters can
greatly enhance the performance, monitoring and maintenance of the plant. With
advancement of technologies the cost of renewable energy equipment is going down globally
encouraging large scale agriculture field. The project is based on implementation of new cost
effective methodology based on IOT to remotely monitoring plant performance evaluation.
Also by this project we will get data which we can use all over world for betterment of
agriculture.
2.4 Objectives and Scope:
The ever-growing global population would touch around 9.6 billion by 2050. So, to
feed this immense population, the agriculture industry needs to embrace IoT. The demand for
more food has to meet overcoming challenges such as, rising climate change, extreme
weather conditions and environmental impact that results from intensive farming practices.

 USB (used for uploading sketches to the board and for serial communication between
the board and the computer; can be used to power the board) (yellow)
1) Digital Pins
In addition to the specific functions listed below, the digital pins on an Arduino board can be
used for general purpose input and output via the pinMode(), digitalRead(), and digitalWrite()
commands. Each pin has an internal pull-up resistor which can be turned on and off using
digitalWrite () (w/ a value of HIGH or LOW, respectively) when the pin is configured as an
input. The maximum current per pin is 40 mA.
 Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data. On
the Arduino Diecimila, these pins are connected to the corresponding pins of the FTDI
USB-to-TTL Serial chip. On the Arduino BT, they are connected to the corresponding
pins of the WT11 Bluetooth module. On the Arduino Mini and LilyPad Arduino, they are
intended for use with an external TTL serial module (e.g. the Mini-USB Adapter).
 External Interrupts: 2 and 3. These pins can be configured to trigger an interrupt on a

low value, a rising or falling edge, or a change in value. See the attachInterrupt() function
for details.
 PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. Provide 8-bit PWM output with the analogWrite()
function. Onboards with an ATmega8, PWM output is available only on pins 9, 10,
and 11.
 BT Reset: 7. (Arduino BT-only) Connected to the reset line of the bluetooth module.
 SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK). These pins support SPI communication,
which,although provided by the underlying hardware, is not currently included in the
Arduino language.
 LED: 13. On the Diecimila and LilyPad, there is a built-in LED connected to digital pin
13. Whenthe pin is HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off.
18
2) Analog Pins
In addition to the specific functions listed below, the analog input pins support 10bit analog-
to-digital conversion (ADC) using the analogRead() function. Most of the analog inputs can
also be used as digital pins: analog input 0 as digital pin 14 through analog input 5 as digital
pin 19. Analog inputs 6 and 7 (present on the Mini and BT) cannot be used as digital pins.
I2C: 4 (SDA) and 5 (SCL). Support I2C (TWI) communication using the Wire
library(documentation on the Wiring website).
3) Power Pins
 VIN (sometimes labelled "9V"). The input voltage to the Arduino board when it's using
an external power source (as opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other
regulated power source). You can supply voltage through this pin, or, if supplying voltage
via the power jack, access it through this pin.
 5V. The regulated power supply used to power the microcontroller and other components
on the board. This can come either from VIN via an on-board regulator, or be supplied by
USB or another regulated 5V supply.
 GND. Ground pins.
4) Other Pins
 AREF. Reference voltage for the analog inputs. Used with analogReference().
 Reset. (Diecimila-only) Bring this line LOW to reset the microcontroller. Typically
used to add a reset button to shields which block the one on the board.

VCC, GND, DATA and NC. It operates from 3.3-5 volts power supply. This sensor has
exceptional quality, anti-interference capability, economical performance and fast reaction
benefits. Humidity is calculated by means of measuring the conductivity of liquid substrate
that alters with exchange in humidity and temperature is calculated by the usage of a
thermistor. The function called read() is used to take readings from the sensor which is
included in <DHT.h> library.

4.3.3 Soil Moisture Sensor
Moisture sensor has 3 pins – one is for voltage input, second for ground and
third is for analog input. Moisture content of the soil (volume %) is measured by this
sensor. The analog value need to be mapped in the range of 0-100 as moisture
content is evaluated in percentage. The property used by this sensor is electrical
resistance of soil. There are 2 probes in this sensor that permits the current to pass
through the soil. After that it gets the value of resistance to measure the water
content level. This implies that higher the water content higher is the conduction of
electricity which means lesser resistance. If the soil is dry then the conduction in the
soil is poor, this leads to increase in level of resistance. Hence it uses the property
of resistance to
24
measure the moisture in soil. It could be joined in two different ways they are Analog
and Digital mode.

4.3.4 Sun Light Sensor :
A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy
of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical
phenomenon. It is a form of photoelectric cell, defined as a device whose electrical
characteristics, such as current, voltage, or resistance, vary when exposed to light. Individual
solar cell devices are often the electrical building blocks of photovoltaic modules, known
colloquially as solar panels.
25
Figure 4.3.8 Sun Light Sensor
The common single junction silicon solar cell can produce a maximum open-
circuit voltage of approximately 0.5 to 0.6 volts.
Solar cells are described as being photovoltaic, irrespective of whether the source
is sunlight or an artificial light. In addition to producing energy, they can be used as
a photodetector (for example infrared detectors), detecting light or other electromagnetic
radiation near the visible range, or measuring light intensity.
4.3.5 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD):
LCD is used for displaying the voltage, currents and power etc.
Fig.4.3.9.: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
When LCD is connected to the solar monitoring system then all the parameters are
also shown at the LCD screen. Here we use a 16*2 LCD screen. It has 16 pins for interfacing
to Arduino.
26
4.3.6 Motor
It is a micro submersible pump which works on dc 3-6v with cost efficient and
portable. It is able to take around 120 litres for every hour with extremely low current
utilization. Water level should be higher as if the motor is used without water it can harm the
parts of this device due to overheating. There are many applications such as controlled
fountain water flow, hydroponic systems, controlled garden watering system.

4.4 Software Tools:
4.4.1 Arduino Ide (Integrated Development Environment) :
Arduino IDE is an open source programming which is basically used to write &
compile code using a module that is Arduino. This is an official programming software which
makes compiling of code simple so a typical man can understand the learning procedure. This
software is readily available for all operating systems like MAC, windows, Linux. Arduino
Mega, Arduino Uno, Arduino Leonardo and more are range of Arduino modules that are
available. It basically has a text editor which is used for writing code, a text console, a
message area, a toolbar with buttons for some of the common functions. Sketches are called
as the programs that are written using this software. Coding on this software mostly uses
functions of c/c++.

4.4.2 Thingspeak Cloud Server
It is an open source application. This platform provides services that allows to

visualize, analyse & aggregate live data streaming on cloud server. It presents instant
visualizations of information published by different devices to this cloud server. It has the
capacity to execute MATLAB code on this server we can carry out online evaluation and
processing of statistics as it comes in. It is regularly used for prototyping.
On the left side there are smart devices that live at the edge of the network. These
devices collect information and include things like heart rate monitors, wireless sensors,
wearable devices etc. In the middle there is a cloud where data from different sources is
analysed in real time. The right side depicts the algorithm development connected with IoT
application.

4.5.1 Adafruit:
Adafruit.io is a cloud service that just means we run it for you and you don't have to
manage it. You can connect to it over the Internet. It's meant primarily for storing and then
retrieving data but it can do a lot more.

CHAPTER 6
Conclusion
6.1 Conclusion:
The proposed model explores the use of IoT (Internet of things) in the agriculture
sector. This model aims at increasing the crop yield by helping in predicting better crop
sequence for a particular soil. Thingspeak helps in real time sampling of the soil and hence
the data acquired can be further used for analysing the crop. We have also taken many
readings of the soil moisture, temperature and humidity of the environment for various days
at different times of the day. Data on the cloud also helps the agriculturists in improving the
yield, evaluating the manures, illness in the fields. This system is cost effective and feasible.
It also focuses on optimizing the use of water resources which combats issues like water
scarcity and ensures sustainability. This model focuses on the utilization of IoT in
agriculture and the solutions proposed in this paper will improve farming methods, increase
productivity and lead to effective use of limited resources.
6.2 Advantages And Disadvantages:
Advantages:
1) It is a robust and easy to use system.
2) There is no need for extra training of that person who is using it.
3) The schematic of Arduino is open source, for the future enhancement of the project board
can be extended to add more hardware
3) It is of low cost.
4) Improved livestock farming.
Disadvantages:
1) High speed internet connection required
2) When the new users want to connect, first download application software and then
configuration must be done.
47
6.3 Applications:
1) Precision Farming
2) Green Farming
3) Industrial Farming
6.4 Future Scope :
The future scope of this project could be including variety of soil sensors like pH
sensor, Rain sensor and then collecting and storing the data on cloud server. This would make
the predicting and analysing processes more accurate. It also includes making different data
mining algorithms suitable for data analysis in agriculture
