A STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT OF SOIL MOISTURE DETECTION SYSTEM USING SENSORS FOR PRECISION AGRICULTURE APPLICATIONS

Abstract: A huge step in the field of precision farming has been made with the creation of this soil moisture detection system, which enables farmers to maximize water use, decrease resource waste, and boost yields of crops. Additionally, it promotes environmentally friendly farming methods by lowering water use. The use of this sort of equipment is anticipated to increase agriculture's productivity and profitability while fostering sustainable management of resources. Soil moisture sensors, a data processing unit, and a user-friendly interface accessible through mobile or online platforms are key components of the system. Soil moisture sensors are carefully positioned across the field to collect data on soil moisture content at various depths.
