Abstract

Now a days it is required to have techniques and systems which detect and prevent the crops from being affected by different diseases.Agriculture environment is dynamic entity and changing continuously. Ground water depletion, soil erosion, attack of new pest and diseases, fragmentation of land, rural-urban migration and power supply availability for farming are some of the new challenges presently being faced in the agricultural field. In the field conditions at the farm in terms of Temperature, Soil Moisture, Humidity and Water level are acquired with the help of corresponding sensors and the real time values of the parameters is stored on the cloud. The Values of the parameters is communicated to the cloud with the help of NodeMCU Microcontroller Unit which is the main component of the system which acts as a gateway between field and the Internet. This system helps the farmer in accessing the field parameters on the go, thus promotes smart Agriculture.
