| Description | Farming in Rajasthan is barely successful. The main cause for the failure of farming techniques is the wrong predictions. These unforeseeable situations are forcing many of the farmers to even take their own lives as they are unable to bear the enormous losses. Hence, we need to keep the essential parameters of agriculture in our mind such as the soil quality and its water content. For a place such as Rajasthan we are already facing the major problem of water scarcity. We have therefore come up with a unique idea of applying internet of things (IoT) in crop monitoring and introducing new techniques of smart farming which could help our farmers to improve their crop production. A solution is offered to the problem of water scarcity so that healthy crops can be cultivated with minimal attention given by the farmer. The main aim of this study is to provide farmers with accurate knowledge of water content in the soil and help these farmers to become financially secure. This work also focusses on designing a cost-efficient way to utilize the in-hand available resources. In Figure 10.1it is depicted how the proper levels of soil moisture affect crop generation, that is, adequate moisture level in soil helps in producing healthy crops, whereas inappropriate moisture produces unhealthy crops. Our provided solution is responsible for first measuring the soil moisture level and then accordingly releasing water to the fields so that no wastage occurs. It will also alert the farmers about the quality of the soil and the level of water present in the tank. This shows how digital farming has become a boon for the agriculture business. The most vital outcome of this technology is healthy crops with less supervision of fields by the farmers. Book Name: Smart Agriculture |
