Smart Irrigation with Field Protection and Crop Health Monitoring system using Autonomous Rover

Automation has maneuvered industrial advancements and has become provident in most of the domain. But the contribution of automation to agriculture is in a lower degree. So, by incorporating automation in the field of agriculture, productivity can be increased to manifolds. This paper brings out the ways to automate agriculture which enhances irrigation, protection of farmlands and health management. Irrigation of crops is made economical by considering the moisture level in soil, temperature and humidity. Health supervision is done by an autonomous agricultural rover which moves around the field, collecting data through a camera fixed on it. The images are processed using algorithms in MATLAB to identify the disease affecting or nutrition deficit in the field. The shortcoming is indicated to the farmer. In case of fire accidents, it is detected using Ultraviolet Flame sensor and the fire is put off. Also, the farm is protected from animal intrusion using PIR sensor and buzzer. These techniques are integrated to improve the standards of agricultural farming.
