Design and Development of an IoT-Based System for Monitoring and Controlling Agricultural Parameters

  • Unique Paper ID: 182298
  • PageNo: 1799-1805
  • Abstract:
  • The increasing demand for food production and the need for sustainable farming practices have driven the integration of advanced technologies into agriculture. This paper presents the design and development of an IoT-based system aimed at monitoring and controlling key agricultural parameters to enhance crop productivity and resource efficiency. The proposed system employs various sensors to measure environmental and soil parameters such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity. These sensors are connected to a microcontroller-based unit, which transmits real-time data to a cloud platform via a wireless communication module. A user-friendly dashboard enables farmers to monitor field conditions remotely and receive alerts when parameters deviate from optimal ranges. Additionally, automated control mechanisms, such as irrigation and ventilation systems, are integrated to respond to sensor data and maintain ideal growing conditions. The implementation of this system demonstrates improved decision-making, reduced water usage, and enhanced crop health. This study highlights the potential of IoT in transforming conventional agriculture into a more intelligent, data-driven practice, promoting efficiency, sustainability, and productivity.
