 ABSTRACT

In recent survey of FAO(Food and Agricultural Organization), the plant

growth rate in India is 1.9% but agricultural productivity is 1%. According to this
survey, upcoming years of 21st century in India the food is inadequate for the
continuous growing population. To overcome this problem, there is a need to keep
track of necessary conditions and parameters, which are required for plant growth
and increases it’s productivity. Hence, we came up with a solution by using sensors
like soil moisture sensor, temperature & humidity sensor and LDR to detect the
current environmental parameters. To meet those required environmental
conditions, actuators like a cooling fan, DC pump and Plant bulbs are used.
Through the cloud platform, continuous monitoring of those parameters, such that,
able to modify them and make sure that increase in productivity by using IoT.

 INTRODUCTION

▪ The climatic conditions may prevent the growth of certain plants in certain areas
which decreases the yield.
▪ The key aim of this project is to set up the environment by adopting & controlling
the necessary parameters that are required for the plant growth.
▪ Greenhouses contains this system does justice to this by replicating a required
climate.
▪ It maintains the microclimatic parameters in a required ratio as per the
specifications of the plants.
▪ From the implementation of this system, we enhance the growth of the plants for a
maximum yield.

 EXISTING MODEL

▪ In India, subsistence farming is one of the

most common style of farming.
▪ In subsistence agriculture, farmers and their
families produce crops for themselves or for

to windstorm
▪ Due to India’s geographical location, certain
parts experience different climates.
▪ Thus, affecting each region’s agricultural
productivity, most of the cases productivity
decreases.

 PROPOSED MODEL

This system proposes the adoption and control of the soil moisture,
temperature, humidity and light intensity using sensors and actuators. It generates
the required environment and allows the crops to grow anywhere, however the
external climatic parameters be. By implementing our proposed system to a
smaller surface like Greenhouses, the production of vegetables, flowers, herbs,
and small fruits increases compare to the existing farming method.

 ADVANTAGES & APPLICATIONS

Advantages:-
1. Allowing the crops to grow that are not meant to be cultivated in that area.
2. Easier to monitor and control the growth of crops.
3. Reduced the labor maintenance.
4. Implements with no wastage of resources compare to existing model.

Applications:-
5. Can be used in the degraded lands where less amount of natural resources are
available for cultivation.
6. Used in Floriculture.
7. Used in Greenhouses and certain nurseries where medicinal herbs and plants are
cultivated.
8. Implements in Vertical Farming to increase the productivity.

 CONCLUSION & FUTURE SCOPE

Conclusion:-
A system that set up the environment by adopting and controlling the necessary
parameters that are required for the specific plant like Light intensity, Soil moisture,
Temperature and Humidity with the help of sensors and actuators by checking the
stability of the factors. By using this system, plant grows in precise manner that
leads to the increases in yield irrespective of the external climatic conditions.

Future scope:-
1. We can able to detect the diseases of the plants automatically while growing with
the extension of this system by adding color sensors.
2. By adding NPK(Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium) sensors, we can measure and
monitor soil nutrient data that can helps us to determine the soil is nutrient
deficient or abundant.
