This document presents a project on implementing a smart farming system using IoT for efficient crop growth. It was carried out by two students, Abhisheka Masalavadada and Guruprasad, under the guidance of Prof. Aparna Chilakwad. The presentation covers introducing smart agriculture using IoT as a solution to increase crop yields with low costs by monitoring soil conditions, temperature, humidity and providing automated irrigation. It then describes the system implementation using sensors to measure these parameters connected to an Arduino board to control a motor pump. The system is found to optimize water usage, sustain high yields and produce high quality crops in a cost-effective manner.

3.  Agriculture plays vital role in the development
of economy in the country. In India about 70%
of population depends upon farming.
 One of the solution to this problem is smart
agriculture by modernizing the current
traditional methods of agriculture.
 The highlighting features of this project
includes smart control and intelligent decision
making based on accurate real time field data

4.  The farmer are still using traditional methods for agriculture .
which results in low yielding of crops and fruits.
 So the crop yield can be improved by using automatic
machineries .There is need to implement modern science and
technology in the agriculture for increasing the yield .By IOT ,
we can expect the increase in production with low cost by
monitoring the efficiency of the soil , temperature and
humidity monitoring ,rain fall monitoring ,fertilizers efficiency
, monitoring storage capacity of water tanks and also theft
detection in agriculture areas

5. INTRODUCTION
 Agriculture is considered as the basis of life for the human species as it is
the main source of food grains and other raw materials.
 It plays vital role in the growth of country’s economy. It also provides
large sample employment opportunities to the people.
 Growth in agricultural sector is necessary for the development of
economic condition of the country.
 Unfortunately, many farmers still use the traditional methods of farming
which results in low yielding of crops and fruits.
 But wherever automation had been implemented and human beings had
been replaced by automatic machineries, the yield has been improved.
 Hence there is need to implement modern science and technology int he
agriculture sector for increasing the yield

6. Need of Smart agriculture using IoT
 Simple and easy to install and configure.
 Saving energy and resources , so that it can utilized in proper way amount.
 Farmers would be able to smear the right amount of water at the right time
by automating farm or nursery irrigation.
 Avoiding irrigation at the wrong time of day , reduce runoff from over
watering saturated soils which will improve crop performance.
 Automated irrigation system uses valves to turn ON and OFF. Motors can
be automated easily by using controllers as no need of labor to turn ON
and OFF.
 It is precise method for irrigation and a valuable tool for accurate soil
moisture control in highly specialized greenhouse vegetable production.
 It is time saving, the human error elimination in adjusting available soil
moisture levels

10.  Measuring soil moisture is important in agriculture to help
farmers manage their irrigation systems more efficiently. Not
only are farmers able to generally use less water to grow a
crop, they are able to increase yields and the quality of the
crop by better management of soil moisture during critical
plant growth stages.
 Embedded system for automatic irrigation of an agriculture
field offers a potential solution to support site- specific
irrigation management that allows producers to maximize their
productivity while saving the water.

11. Advantages
• Cost effective method
• Optimize water use
• Sustain high yielding
• High quality crop production
Disadvantages
• Need for each soil type is calibrated

12. Future scope
 This system can be expanded in future by adding more sensors
to make agriculture system more efficient.
 The sensors like health monitoring of soil and plant.
 To determine soil fertility etc.

13. CONCLUSION
 The smart farming system implemented is cost effective for
optimizing water resources for agriculture production.
 The proposed system can be used to switch on/off the water
sprinkler depending on the moisture level sensor, temperature
sensor and by rain senor.
 Through this project it can be concluded that there can be
considerable development in irrigation with those of IoT
automation .
 Thus this system is a solution to the problems faced in the
exiting process of irrigation.
