IoT Based Smart Plant Monitoring System

Abstract

The agricultural sector is in transition thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), which is also helping farmers overcome the many obstacles they confront. The problems that IoT can help with are plant and soil monitoring, livestock monitoring, and conservation monitoring. Innovative IoT applications improve agricultural productivity in terms of quality, quantity, sustainability and cost-effectiveness while meeting industry challenges. This project automates the watering process while monitoring soil factors such as temperature, electrical conductivity, and moisture content. A microcontroller is used to make decisions. When a user is acknowledged in the field whether there is a text message variation from the anticipated values. This research also includes plant pest detection in addition to soil metrics. This guarantees whole system health. In contrast, greenhouses are regulated environments where plants are grown. The primary goal of this project is to create an Arduino- based system that is easy to use, inexpensive, and can be used to continuously upload and alter environmental parameter values in order to maximize plant growth and yield.
