Abstract: The concept of Smart Agriculture is becoming a reality as it evolves from conceptual models for the development of crop at different stages .where IOT currently used for cultivation process is the most important one for farmes. Now days , due to more chemicals farmers cant able to get more quality products from their lands because of their soil condition. soil condition is the major role to produce a good cultivation but now days the farmers are facing lots of problem on their land. So farmers cant cultivate in good products .So we can use this idea,which will helps to solve the soil quality problem from their lands and they can cultivate higher growth production. The idea that stands behind this project is building an IoT system that monitors the soil moisture detecting when it gets too dry. Firstly the developed Sensor kit will be checking the Soil type and Soil Quality. Later the different tests are performed on soil such as bulk density test, temperature test, moisture test and it also needs to check the water quality. By considering the results obtained by the above tests the device suggests the crop for the farmer and it also helps him for the maintenance of the crop. To keep the services of Smart Agriculture the IOT plays a key role.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing vital role in present world specially, Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the agriculture industry and enabling Farmers to contend with the enormous challenges they face. The industry must overcome increasing water shortages, limited availability of lands, difficult to manage costs, while meeting the increasing consumption needs of a global population that is expected to grow by 70% by 2050. New innovative IoT applications are addressing these issues and increasing the quality, quantity, sustainability and costs effectiveness of agricultural production. Today’s large and local farms can, for example, leverage IoT to remotely monitor sensors that can detect soil moisture, crop growth and livestock feed levels, remotely manage and control their smart connected harvesters and irrigation equipment, and agriculture equipment providers looking to add additional value with IoT to their customers, and farmers themselves are recognizing that they can capitalize on the opportunity IoT presents to capture real economic value. Sensors provide the first purpose built IoT platform designed to meet the unique needs of today’s connected world. As the leading IoT platform, I delivers the security and scalability to handle millions of daily you can deliver powerful, new smart agriculture IoT solutions in a fraction of the time of other approaches.
