Introduction to the
Land Parameter
Measuring Device
Introducing a cutting-edge, Arduino-based land parameter measuring device
that revolutionizes precision farming. This innovative system empowers
farmers to optimize water usage, reduce costs, and boost crop yields through
real-time soil moisture monitoring and automated irrigation control.

Arduino-based System Overview
Microcontroller Land Parameters Sensors Relay to farmers

The heart of the system, an Strategically placed sensors The farmer receives alerts in
Arduino board, collects and in the soil measure several changes of said parameters
processes data from various parameters including pH, when they are deficient.
sensors. moisture and temperature.
Sensor Integration
Soil Moisture Sensor Temperature Sensor
Measures the water content in the soil to Monitors the ambient temperature to help
determine the optimal irrigation needs. adjust irrigation schedules and prevent heat
stress in crops.

pH Sensor
Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the soil to
determine soil fertility and nutrient
availability .
Land Parameters Monitoring
1 Sensor Placement
The soil moisture, temperature and pH sensors are installed in the root zone of
the crop to accurately measure the available water, soil pH and soil temperature

2 Real-time Monitoring
The Arduino continuously monitors the parameters levels and tracks changes in
the parameters content in the soil

3 Threshold-based Activation
When the soil moisture drops below a predetermined threshold, the system
triggers a SMS to the farmer
SMS Notification to Farmers

SMS Alerts GPRS/GSM Integration


Farmers receive real-time SMS This is the module that allows
notifications on their phones communication with cellular
about changes in the soil networks from Arduino to
parameters predefined numbers.
