Automated irrigation with advanced seed germination and pest control

Agriculture can be split into multiple phases like sowing the seeds, germinating the seeds, irrigating, etc. Our innovation deals with automating certain phases of agriculture, such as irrigation and pest control, using artificial intelligence, machine learning and Internet of things. This can be achieved with the help of Ubiquitous computing (Nomadic computing) and sensors working on the concept of IOT. Initially using data analytics techniques, the data about the moisture level maintained in various soils over the entire period to grow various crops are recorded in an online database. In automation the system uses this data to maintain the moisture level in the soil to grow the desired crop. The moisture level in the soil is monitored using multiple moisture sensors which are located all around the field. When the system finds that the moisture is less in the soil than the required amount, as per the data in the database, the field is irrigated using an existing system which uses mechanical valves to allow water to various fields in the farm. But the existing system only works based on the commands from user, in the form of messages from a mobile computer, to control the valves. The proposed system automates this system by integrating it, using the concept of IOT, to its centralised computer system. The proposed system also includes pest control. Currently we use chemicals to kill the pests, whereas, the proposed system uses an ultrasonic sound emitter to keep the rodents away from the farm. It is scientifically proven that the ultrasonic sounds are capable of keeping the rodents away. Also it is proven that certain frequency sound waves boost the growth rate of crops. Thus using all these technologies, low cost and efficient growth of crops is achieved, helping in development of agriculture field.
