Abstract

Technical innovation in agriculture is of extreme importance, in particular to address global challenges such as population growth, climate change and the limited availability of important plant nutrients such as phosphorus and potassium. Sensors applied to agricultural production could play a fundamental role for this purpose and research into agricultural applications has been ongoing for largely a decade [1]. Relevance of the paper is to develop a system for smart agriculture necessary for the development of agricultural production in our country in a similar manner to the European Union. Agriculture and allied activities play a vital role in a country's economic prosperity. The conventional methods in agricultural practices have become grossly inadequate to cater to the increasing needs. Thus it has become imperative to adopt novel technologies to raise agricultural standards. This paper proposes a system in a limited, enclosed area wherein different sensors are strategically positioned to measure parameters such as moisture content, temperature, pressure, light intensity and pH of the soil [5].
