ABSTRACT

Agriculture is the backbone of society as it mainly functions to provide food, feed and fiber on
which all human depends to live. Precision agriculture is implemented with a goal to apply
sufficient treatments at the right place in the right time with the purpose to provide low-input,
high efficiency and sustainable agricultural production [6].
The prototype model of Automated Agriculture System using IoT, ML which will be used for
Smart Farming, where the development cost is to be fully considered, to ensure that the farmers
will be able to invest their capital as a consumer. Therefore, farmers can maintain the farm
conditions from anywhere. The detailed modeling and temperature sensor, moisture sensor,
water level sensor, humidity sensor, motion sensor, etc. will be employed to create this technique
effective and operative through commands from smart devices such as mobile phone.
Application software will be developed and tested for its successful connectivity to the smart
farming system prototype, which gives very relevant recommendation considering overall above
mentioned parameters. In this project, we have proposed the idea to develop a smart agriculture
System that uses advantages of cutting edge technologies such as Arduino, IOT and Wireless
Sensor Network, cloud computing, machine learning.
Monitoring environmental conditions is the major factor to improve yield of the efficient crops.
The feature of this project includes development of a system which can monitor temperature,
humidity, moisture and even the movement of animals which may destroy the crops in
agricultural field through sensors using arduino board and in case of any discrepancy send a SMS
notification as well as a notification on the application developed for the same to the farmer’s
smartphone using Wi-Fi/3G/4G. The system has a duplex communication link based on a
cellular Internet interface that allows for data inspection. This automated agriculture system will
help our farmers in all aspects (which will act as a farmer’s very good companion who can give
convenient and practical recommendation to him).

INTRODUCTION
India has agriculture as its primary occupation. According to IBEF (India Brand Equity
Foundation), 58% of the people living in rural areas in India are dependent on agriculture. As per
the Central Statistics Office 2nd advised estimate, the contribution of agriculture to the Gross
Value Addition (India) is estimated to be roughly around 8% which is very significant
contribution [1]. The global population is predicted to the touch 9.6 billion by 2050 – this poses
a giant problem for the agriculture industry[7]. Farming has long been considered as investment
with tight profit margins and often unpredictable yields. But it’s a sector with enormous potential
according to the World Bank Group it accounts for third of global GDP and by 2050 its thought
that productivity and agriculture will need to rise by 70% just to keep up with demand in their
efforts to meet rising demand food producers (farmers) should now turn into digital innovations
to increase their yield and farming efficiency.
To satisfy these increasing needs, agriculture should communicate to new technology. New
smart farming applications supported on IoT technologies will enable the farmers to enhance
productivity from optimizing fertilizer use to increasing the efficiency of farm vehicles’ routes.
We’ve proposed an IOT and smart agriculture system automation. This IOT, ML based
Agriculture monitoring system makes use of wireless sensor networks that collects data from
different sensors deployed at various nodes and sends it through the wireless protocol. In IoT-
based agriculture automation, a system is made for monitoring the crop field with the assistance
of sensors (light, humidity, temperature, soil moisture, etc.).
The proposed idea is of the fact the it will help the farmers giving best possible recommendations
by analyzing all parameters like humidity, soil moisture, quantity and quality of fertilizers to be
added, rain, etc. The recommendations are given by an application software which will be
developed by us for successful connectivity with farmers and suggest them about all necessary
above mentioned parameters for farming in appropriate manner. This will make farmers job easy
and appropriate amount of fertilizers, etc. will be used and yield of agriculture is maintained.
Giving rise to easy and automated, farming which will result in less of manual work, human
mistakes and will make the overall work robust and speed. IoT-based smart farming is very
efficient in comparison with the traditional approach.

OBJECTIVE
Objectives of the present work are as follows:
 Phase 1: Understanding all kinds of sensors that will be used in our project. Then by
collecting data, supported decisions and anticipating the consequences of each choice
from datasets, sensors, survey of farmers (about their most frequently used fertilizers,
etc.) for the better yield of agricultural produce. It is a way to help farmers optimize,
minimize signal costs and reduce environmental battles to ensure better fields.

 Phase 2: The main activities involved are data collection, processing, and variable rate of
application of inputs from Machine learning datasets and algorithms. We can reduce a lot
of manual work in the field of agriculture using automation and play a significant role in
precision farming to enhance the productivity of the farm. Also it is cost effective.

 Phase 3: Integrating and interfacing data through sensor information, triggers actuators,
and transmits data to a web application, which farmers will be using through their 3G/4G
smart phones. Strong recommendation system to be created for farmers wherein all the
premier accurate first hand data will be recommended to farmers on their finger tips
anywhere, anytime which will make farming easy and much more productive for them.
“Accessing farm land remotely and getting the task done is our motto towards the
farmers”.

 Making the web interface user friendly wherein rural farmers without much
knowledge of using smartphones can also understand its functionality, access it and
make best use of our automatic recommendation system without any hindrance at
their comfort from the remote place.
