Abstract
Agriculture is the broadest economic sector and plays an important role in the overall economic development of a nation. Technological advancements in the arena of agriculture will ascertain to increase the competence of certain farming activities. In this paper, we have proposed a novel methodology for smart farming by linking a smart sensing system and smart irrigator system through wireless communication technology. Our system focuses on the measurement of physical parameters such as soil moisture content, nutrient content, and pH of the soil that plays a vital role in farming activities. Based on the essential physical and chemical parameters of the soil measured, the required quantity of green manure, compost, and water is splashed on the crops using a smart irrigator, which is mounted on a movable overhead crane system. The detailed modeling and control strategies of a smart irrigator and smart farming system are demonstrated in this paper.
