Field Monitoring System Using IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) is a shared network of objects or things can interact with each other when provided with the internet connection. This is one of the ideas that have become increasing prevalent in recent years. It involves connecting things to the internet in order to retrieve information from connected things at any time and from anywhere. In IoT, sensor networks exchange information wirelessly via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc. Smart Agriculture helps to reduce wastage, effective usage of fertilizers and thereby increase the crop yield. In this work, a system is developed to monitor crop-field using sensors. Our project is initiated to determine the ability of sensing systems to detect Soil moisture, Temperature, Humidity, gas to measure the levels of Butane present. The data from sensors are sent and displayed in a website. The notifications are sent to farmer periodically. The farmer can able to monitor the field conditions from anywhere. This system will be more useful in areas where water is in scarce. This system is 92% more efficient than the conventional approach
