An IoT based smart solution for leaf disease detection

Internet of things is a system consists of actuators or sensors or both that provides connectivity to the internet directly or indirectly. Internet of Things (IoT) advances can be used in smart farming to enhance quality of agriculture. Agriculture, the backbone of Indian economy, contributes to the overall economic growth of the country. But our productivity is very less as compared to world standards due to the use of obsolete farming technology, and nowadays people from rural areas migrate to an urban area for other profitable businesses, and they can't focus on agriculture. Innovation in farming is not new but IoT is set to push smart farming to next level Internet of things is a system consists of actuators or sensors or both provides connectivity to the internet directly or indirectly. This paper includes various features like detection of leaf disease, server based remote monitoring system, Humidity and temperature sensing, Soil the Moisture Sensing etc. It makes use of sensors networks for measurement of moisture, temperature, and humidity instead of manual check. Various Sensors are deployed in various locations of farms, to control all these sensors it has been used one controller called Raspberry PI (RPI). Leaf disease can be detected camera interfacing with RPI. Immediate status of a farm like a leaf disease and other environmental factors affecting crop like humidity, temperature and moisture is send using WIFI Server through RPI to the farmers. The paper presents the study of IOT techniques to engross the use of technology in Agriculture.
