TITLE:-
Even today, developing countries are also using traditional methods and
backward techniques in agriculture sector. Little or very less technological
advancement is found in this field that has increased the production efficiency
significantly. Agriculture is the broadest economic sector and plays an
important role in the overall economic development of a nation. Technological
advancements in the arena of agriculture will ascertain to increase the
competence of certain farming activities. To increase the productivity, a novel
design approach is presented in this report. Our system focuses on the
measurement of physical parameters such as soil moisture content, nutrient
content, and pH of the soil that plays a vital role in farming activities. Smart
farming with the help of Internet of Things (IOT) has been designed. A remote
controlled vehicle operates on both automatic and manual modes, for various
agriculture operations like spraying, cutting, weeding etc. The controller keeps
monitoring the temperature, humidity, soil condition and accordingly supplies
water to the field.

INTRODUCTION
Many countries like India, majority of the population depends on farming, and
its national income comes from farming. In spite of this and even the modern
technology is found everywhere, the agriculture area is following the old
conventional technology. Our farmers still resort to traditional methods like
manual distribution of seeds and ploughing, two crops per year pattern,
unscientific systems of cultivation. The monsoons are irregular, and unevenness
of availability of water throughout the year poses a major problem. All this
leads to inadequate yield and low productivity. The implementation of scientific
methods in the field of agriculture can bring about radical changes in the
productivity of crops, due to improved efficiency in the farming techniques.

4.Data analysis on IOT Platform:
5.Conclusion:-
IoT based smart farming system can prove to be very helpful for farmers
since over as well as less irrigation is not good for farming. Threshold
values for climatic conditions like humidity, temperature, moisture can
be fixed based on the environmental conditions of that particular region.
This system generates irrigation schedule based on the sensed real time
data from field and data from the weather repository. This system can
recommend farmer whether or not, is there a need for irrigation.
Smart farming applications are gaining ground with the promise to
deliver 24/7 visibility into soil and crop health.
Livestock movement can be tracked.
Farm products can be tracked.
6.Future Use:-
Many countries like India, majority of the population depends on
farming, and its national income comes from farming. In spite of
this and even the modern technology is found everywhere, the
agriculture area is following the old conventional technology. Our
farmers still resort to traditional methods like manual distribution
of seeds and ploughing, two crops per year pattern, unscientific
systems of cultivation.
The implementation of scientific methods in the field of
agriculture can bring about radical changes in the productivity
of crops, due to improved efficiency in the farming techniques.
7.Advantage:-
o Increased Production
o Water Conservation
o Real-Time Data and Production Insight
o Increased Quality of Production
o Improved Livestock Farming
o Reduced Environmental Footprint
8.Disadvantage:-
One of the limitations of this system is that continuous internet connectivity
is required at user end which might prove to be costly for farmer.
