INTRODUCTION
Smart farming uses modern technology to increase the quality and quantity of
agricultural products.
Farmers can greatly increase the effectiveness of pesticides and fertilizers,
and use them more selectively.
Similarly using smart farming techniques, farmers can better monitor the
individual animals needs.
Precision growing to produce more with minimum less loss, to eliminate waste.
Agriculture Today
Uses 70% of fresh water available.
Produce 30% of green house emission.
Contributes to climate change.
Sixty percent of the worlds population depends on agriculture.
Produces highest level of N(Nitrogen) and P(Potassium) store.
We currently use the size of 46M sqm for farming activity.
Uses modified equipments and better technology.
Scope of engineers in smart farming
Due to severe urbanization available land decreases, we have to take
advantage of urban spaces.
Solutions must be found for the problem of unpredictable climate change.
Changing nature of 21st century requires skill full technical engineers.
By introducing engineers and technologists, farmers work gets
modernized and easier.
Need for smart farming
Agriculture being the oldest industry as evolved so far to the age of
3rd Green Revolution.
Smart agricultural involves integration of advanced technologies into
already persisting agricultural practices to boost production quality
and efficiency of farming.
It helps in automated farming with collection of data.
It examines and optimizes how hightech farming can aid the
production output and focuses the preservation of resources.
Farmers can monitor the field conditions without even going to the
field and make strategic decisions for the whole farm or for a single
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The Drip irrigation method allows farmers to control when and how much
water their crops receive.
By pairing this drip irrigation system with increasingly sophisticated IOT
enables sensors to continuously monitor moisture levels and plant health.
In this project, when the sensor is actuated, the head of the CNC
moves for a particular slot and penetrates the soil to take the readings.
The sensed data is transferred to an arduino board where the actual
program is placed.
It process the data collected and decides whether the sensed data
is upto the moisture level set in the program or not.
If it is below the set level then it sends signals to a solenoid valve
which controls water droplets.
The water flows through the solenoid for a set period and closes.

CONSTRUCTION
The main platform is prepared first, which is a mechanical CNC
like structure and the head be moved in all the three axis using
several mechanical and electrical components like stepper
motors, aluminium Tslot extrusion, rollers, timer pulley, timer belt,
arduino, etc.
The sensor is mounted in z axis to penetrate the soil in the slots
of plant tray and measure the moisture level of the soil.
The sensor is also facilitated with yaxis for précised sensing
of the sensor.
The solenoid is mounted on the Zaxis which enables watering.

conclusion
The system works in a manner by the collection of data from the
farm via the help of sensors, then it sends the data to the server site,
from where and on which further actions can be taken. The final
output of this system is displayed after getting processed by the
server side and then displayed onto the mobile phone. Thus on the
basis of literature survey and by analyzing the system, conclusion
drawn is that the proposed system will not only aid the farmers but
will also help them to digitize their farming practice, which in turn
help them to yield the best from existing soil without being
Future scope
This project can be further modernized to get the following techniques:
Hydroponics: Plants are grown in nutrientrich water
with some sort of culture such as gravel or sand.
Aeroponics: Plants grown in an air mist environment,
without a growing medium. The roots dangle and are
fed by the nutrientsrich water.
Aquaponics: This combines aquaculture and hydroponics. Aquatic
animals excrete in the water, and the by products are broken down
into nitrates and nitrites, which feed the plants.
