ABSTRACT
Agriculture plays vital role in the development of agricultural country. In India about 70% of
population depends upon farming and one third of the nation’s capital comes from farming.
Issues concerning agriculture have been always hindering the development of the country.
The only solution to this problem is smart agriculture by modernizing the current traditional
methods of agriculture. Hence the project aims at making agriculture smart using automation
and IoT technologies. The highlighting features of this project includes smart GPS based
remote controlled robot to perform tasks like weeding, spraying, moisture sensing, bird and
animal scaring, keeping vigilance, etc. Secondly it includes smart irrigation with smart control
and intelligent decision making based on accurate real time field data. The operations will be
performed by interfacing sensors, Wi-Fi or ZigBee modules, camera and actuators with micro-
controller and raspberry pi.

This functional block diagram is consisting the units of culture analysis, predictive analysis,
IoT clouds, IoT devices and sensor module, Agri robot, and security management for all
integrating devices. The IoT system collects and processes the data from the different sensor
outputs with centralized processing servers and provides input to green fieldwork devices in
real-time. Thus, IoT devices are integrating all other sensor infrastructure. The audio and
video interfaces for display output of the system. The sensor data created from raw data from
soil or any appropriate places and is processed by IoT central processing unit with optimum
scheduled time.

Figure 2 shows a block diagram of multi-culture. Generally, there are many culture
classifications and the proposed model shows the block diagram of multi-culture types for
horticulture, floriculture, and viticulture, crop status and pest control can be activated. The
profit margin can be estimated for the number of fruits and flowers that can be separately listed
from citrus fruits. The organic fertilizer is created by cultivating earthworms named

This IoT-cloud plays a vital role in providing the data and transferring the data between the
devices. For each analysis, the storage is maintained separately like sensor output, object
identification, plant diseases, and predictive big data analysis. Besides, the farmer can have the
details about smart agriculture or future prediction information through internet services from
agro experts. Based on these services, the traditional farmer can equip in the field of agriculture.
It would be very user-friendly and the main server is powered by IoT devices.

4.1.5. PH SENSOR
The pH sensor in Figure 8 used to measure the pH value of the solution. pH value is measured
0-14, 0-6 is acidic, 7 is neutral, 8-14 is non-acidic or basic. It is measuring the pH value based
on hydrogen ion concentration, which is measured by pH electrode. The response time is less
than 2 minutes. Temperature range is around 600 c input range voltage is 5 V and output range
is 414.12 µV.
The DHT11 is a basic, ultra-low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor in Figure 9. This
sensor made of two parts a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor. Humidity sensor senses,
measures and reports both moisture and air temperature. Temperature range is 0°C-50°C,
humidity range is 20%-90%. These sensors are mostly used in IoT along with these there are
many other sensors but we will use these sensors frequently.

a. Harneet Kaur discussed about how we can achieve inclusive growth in agriculture and
GDP (Gross Domestic Productivity), talked about past achievements and future challenges,
structural transformation of the Indian economy and major drivers of it, and key issues and
strategies to achieve sustainable growth as soon as possible. In this paper also mentioned about
issues like climate change, equity in agriculture, and policies such as price policies, land issues,
subsidies and investment in agriculture, irrigation and water management, credit, and role of
agriculture growth. How agriculture sector plays a primary role in Indian economy.
b. N. Kiruthika investigated about the investments and returns related to Indian agriculture.
Also talks about role agriculture in national income. Done research on public sector investments
and returns, private industries investments and return and success rate of both the sectors. When
compared to public sector private industries developed more in less time. In this paper [6] also
discussed about public-private partnership (PPP) through we can see more development in
agriculture within very less time.
d. Big data provides advantages over data mining. Simple linear regression and decision
tree algorithms are used. Data mining algorithms which are used to extract the important and
information from huge information, there are two steps classification and clustering. Various
algorithms are used to various purposes. For the classification ID3, J48, LMT, KNN algorithms
are used and for clustering EM and K-means algorithms are used. These algorithms tested with
huge agriculture data.

this technology there are many methods, characterizing the problem this done in two steps one
is defining types of data, second one quality of data there are seven levels of quality. AQ11
algorithm is explained. How can machine learning used in agriculture with the help example
explained by using WEKA.
g. This framework helps in making strategic decisions. S. Surai and R. Kundu proposed a
smart agriculture monitoring system with the help of soil moisture sensor. Soil moisture sensor
used to measure the moisture percentage of soil and based on that percentage system will take
decision whether soil need water or not, if there exist need of water it automatically switch ON
the pump.
Security management is protecting ground cable or wireless data. The preventive measure took
place under the network layer protocol infrastructure with authorized access. The malfunction,
fabrication, destruction, improper handling of the IoT devices can be secured by this security
management. Here the appropriate security management with the assistance of Wi-Fi, GSM,
CDMA techniques for communication medium. The Zigbee unit plays a vital role in
communicating data between components. Also, the GSM, CDMA, LTE services can avail for
the communicating process. The internet facility has been used for authentication or access
processes with the cooperation of user layer protocol such as HTTP, WWW, SMTP protocols.

CONCLUSION
IoT based SMART FARMING SYSTEM for Live Monitoring of Temperature and Soil
Moisture has been proposed using Arduino and Cloud Computing. The System has high
efficiency and accuracy in fetching the live data of temperature and soil moisture. The IoT
based smart farming System being proposed via this report will assist farmers in increasing the
agriculture yield and take efficient care of food production as the System will always provide
helping hand to farmers for getting accurate live feed of environmental temperature and soil
moisture with more than 99% accurate results. This research describes the proposed model
which consists of many analysis sections for an overall framework. Thus, our integrated units
having many advantages as discussed earlier in smart agriculture units with IoT modules. Few
limitations are also incorporated in this constrained model for platforms and security. The
number of challenges and limitations considers the most IoT-based devices for smart
agriculture. The main focus is cost-effectiveness in the IoT devices in the reduction of hardware
and software cost with compromising precision system output. The imported devices ignore the
compromise with the component's expenses gets minimized. The standardization of the data
format for the process will also provide improved device consistency and execution time. The
initial process barrier providers for active farmers are regulated when improving the system's
goods or services. Also, the proposed integrated system will provide complexity due to many
devices interlinked through a web server. The heterogeneity property is a very complicated
process in the IoT sector which provides better accuracy and excellent overall performance of
the system. Finally, the deep learning analysis with a huge number of features or data can
increase the production from smart agriculture by IoT.
