| description | Agriculture plays a crucial role in a nation's economy by significantly contributing to its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Improved methods of farming not only benefit farmers by lowering their workload but also boost crop yields. Identifying the optimal soil for each crop is essential for producing harvests of the highest quality and quantity. Precision farming in agriculture uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to ensure the most efficient use of available resources to increase crop yields and reduce operational costs. It reduces instances of crop failure and aids in averting catastrophic losses. Variations in soil temperature and soil moisture have the most significant influence on crop yield. The Soil Moisture Sensors calculate the soil's total volumetric water content. Using the BMP280 absolute barometric pressure sensor, it is possible to get accurate temperature and air pressure measurements. In the paper, the primary purpose of precision agriculture usage is to determine the optimal soil characteristics for the production of Barely, Maize and Sugarcane crops. |
