B. Component Used
The circuit design utilizes a range of components listed in
the table, each playing a vital role in the development of a
smart soil monitoring system. At the heart of the system is
the Arduino UNO, which serves as the main microcontroller
responsible for collecting, processing, and transmitting data
from various sensors and modules. The Gas Sensor (MQ-
135) is included to detect the presence of harmful gases in
the environment, ensuring the air quality around the soil is
monitored for toxic substances that may impact plant health.
To monitor the climatic conditions of the soil environment,
a Temperature and Humidity Sensor (DHT-11) is integrated,
which provides essential data on ambient temperature and
