IoT Based Real Time Soil Nutrients Detection

This paper is about the proposed portable, real time, cloud-based soil nutrient detection framework. Soil nutrients and parameters such as temperature, humidity, pH values are seized by our proposed setup and can be made available anywhere in the world with valid cloud channel verification credentials. For proposed framework, Soil analysis is performed with RGB color sensor and soil doctor plus kit. For demonstration of proposed cloud based, real-time soil analysis, we have collected Soil samples from various farms near Pune city (India). An important contribution of the proposed work is that farmers can get real-time soil parameter analysis at their fingertips, hence our work can be named as a “Soil Doctor kit”. The proposed method is able to communicate all real time soil parameters such as pH, Nutrients, temperature values anywhere in the world. Hence proposed cloud-based soil analysis setup can be used by farmers for adding deficient soil nutrients and increasing crop yield, without waiting for results from testing Labs.
