IOT BASED SOIL MOISTURE MONITORING

Presented By,

ABSTRACT

Soil moisture is one of the important aspect of the soil which

determines how much wet or dry the soil is.There are several species of trees and
plant in the world and each one needs a different soil moisture range in order to absorb
the nutrients and water sufficiently from the soil to sustain.The objective of the project
is to monitor the soil moisture continuously with the help of IOT which can be futher

used for automatic watering of plant, smart irrigation..,etc.
