India hol Abstract Most of the Agriculture lands in India are over fertilized with some nutrients and some nutrients are Deficient in the same lands and Maximum lands are Overhydrated which results in water wastage. India holds 17% of the world population but only 4% of fresh water is available in India In this 80% of water is spent for Agriculture purposes alone. Nowadays each and every
Irrigation is a mechanism for transforming water into
domains are getting automated but watering the crop with fertilization accordingly to the soil nutrients and plants is not in progress. Current automatic watering system uses only a soil moisture sensor and water the plant accordingly to the humidity alone. Here we develop an IOT based watering and fertilizer dispensing system which is fully automated accordingly to the soil and plant needs. The soil data and plant nutrients required data is initially collected and code is created accordingly and dumped in Arduino and the code can be changed once in a year or once in a plantation season so that the proper cycle can be ensured . This proposed system results in the proper usage of fertilizers and water in an efficient manner. This also paves the way for full fledged Automation in the Agriculture field.
