 Introduction
In IoT-based smart farming, a system is built for monitoring the crop field with the
help of sensors (light, humidity, temperature, soil moisture, etc.) and automating the
irrigation system. The farmers can monitor the field conditions from anywhere. IoT-
based smart farming is highly efficient when compared with the conventional
approach. The applications of IoT-based smart farming not only target conventional,
large farming operations, but could also be new levers to uplift other growing or
common trends in agricultural like organic farming, family farming (complex or small
spaces, particular cattle and/or cultures, preservation of particular or high-quality
varieties, etc.), and enhance highly transparent farming.
 Major Applications
• Soil Sampling and Mapping:
In agriculture, a soil test commonly refers to the analysis of a soil sample to determine 
nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as the acidity or pH level. A
soil test can determine fertility, or the expected growth potential of the soil which indicates
nutrient deficiencies, potential toxicities from excessive fertility and inhibitions from the
presence of non-essential trace minerals. The test is used to mimic the function of roots to
assimilate minerals. The expected rate of growth is modeled by the low of maximum. 
• Irrigation:
Irrigation is the process of applying water to the crops artificially to fulfil their water
requirements. Nutrients may also be applied to the crops through irrigation. The various
sources of water for irrigation are wells, ponds, lakes, canals, tube-wells, and even dams.
Irrigation offers moisture required for growth and development, germination, and other
related functions.
• Fertilizer:

Fertilizer, natural or artificial substance containing the chemical elements that improve growth and productiveness of
plants. Fertilizers enhance the natural fertility of the soil or replace the chemical elements taken from the soil by
previous crops.

Major Equipments and Technologies:

• Arduino UNO:
Arduino is a microcontroller to control the working of the sensors and manage the working of the device. The UNO
version of Arduino is implemented in this project. It was developed by Arduino CC. The Arduino board comes with
various number of pins. The pins are categorized as output and input pins. The input pins accept digital as well as
analog data. It has 14 digital pins and 6 analog pins. It accepts 7 to 20 volts of power for working. It also has an USB
port. The U was the first version of Arduino to be introduced in the Arduino family.
• DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor:
The DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor is used to sense temperature and humidity present in the atmosphere. It
has 3 pins generally. One pin is used for transmitting signals, the next pin is used to receive signals and the last pin is
data transfer. It can be used for prolonged time period. It gives approximate results. It regularly sends information to
Arduino UNO. The information consists the signals which contain the values gathered about temperature and humidity.
It is reliable on nature. It gives a very fast response.
• Soil Moisture Sensor:
The Soil Moisture sensor is used to sense moisture content in the soil. It checks the volume of water
content or moisture present in the soil. The calculations are done in the soil moisture sensor through
coefficients. It estimates the volume of water content in the soil. It detects the water content in the
soil and gets and sends the analog signals which is shown digitally. It transmits the signals containing
information or data or values of the condition of soil to Arduino to further process it and display.
• PIR Sensor:
PIR sensor stands for Passive Infrared Sensor. It detects the movement around it and sends the signals accordingly. It
radiates electromagnetic radiation. If any object comes within the range of this radiated electromagnetic radiation, the
it hits the object and comes back to the PIR sensor telling that there is presence of an object in a specified range. An
LED or Buzzer can be attached with PIR sensor so that the hindrance can be detected easily or the user will know of the
hindrance easily.
• GSM Shield:
The GSM Shield is used as a method of communication in this proposed technology. The GSM Shield is
used to send text messages to the farmer’s cell phone about the conditions of the temperature, humidity
soil and field area. A separate coding has to be done for GSM shield in Arduino.
• Rechargeable Battery:
The sealed lead-acid (SLA) 12V, 9Ah rechargeable battery is rated at a 5-hour (0.2) and 20-hour (0.05C) discharge.
Longer discharge times produce higher capacity readings because of lower losses. The lead-acid performs well on high load
currents. This battery act as an internal power supply for the whole circuit.

• WIFI Module-ESP 8266:

ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module is SOC with TCP/IP protocol stack integrated which facilitates any microcontroller to access Wi-Fi
network. ESP8266 module is cost effective module and supports APSD for VOIP Applications and Bluetooth co-existence
interfaces. Technical Specifications: 802.11b/g/n; Wi-Fi Direct, 1MB Flash Memory, SDIO 1.1/2.0, SPI, UART, Standby Power
Consumption of <1.0mW.

 Conclusion:
IOT based smart farming gives better decision making and production planning system for
farmers. It also provides data analytic for smarter farming decision . IOT based Agriculture Stick for Live
Monitoring of Temperature and Soil Moisture has been proposed using Arduino, Cloud Computing and
Solar Technology. The stick has efficiency accuracy in fetching the live data of Temperature and Soil
Moisture. Assist farmers in increasing the Agriculture yield and take efficient care of food production as
the stick will always provide helping hand to farmers for getting accurate live feed of environmental
Temperature and Soil Moisture.
