Abstract:

Agriculture is extremely important to India’s economy and people’s survival. The proposed work aims to create a system for soil monitoring and irrigation that will lessen manual monitoring of fields and provide details through the Google Firebase cloud server. The proposed work is designed to assist farmers in increasing agricultural production. The current system has been urbanized to accumulate real-time details from the agricultural site, including humidity, moisture content of the soil, temperature value of soil, TDS sensor, temperature sensor, and color sensors for soil NPK nutrients. Along with this, the proposed work will implement a soil texture classification framework and a fire detection module. Fire is an unpredicted event that results in significant losses for farmers. Hot temperatures and dry conditions can cause tinder-dry crops and residue in agricultural fields. As a result, field fires can happen unintentionally. As a result, the fire detection module is used in this project to avoid this unexpected situation. The ESP32 Microcontroller is the heart of the system, allowing it to take sensor data over Wi-Fi and send it to the Google Firebase cloud server platform. The end-user or the farmer can store every single piece of information and details about the sensor within the Google Firebase data storage element and access it from any smartphone or website using the Google Firebase cloud server. Hence, the user can monitor sensor data and control irrigation. Farmers or end users can grow the appropriate and suitable crop in soil based on results.
