A Sustainable IoT Solution for Precision Agriculture Using Raspberry Pi and Multi-Sensor
摘要
This integration facilitates real-time monitoring of soil conditions, moisture levels, and plant health, empowering farmers to make well-informed decisions. By leveraging these technologies, they can enhance resource efficiency, cut down on waste, and ultimately improve productivity. This paper introduces a smart crop health monitoring system that employs a Raspberry Pi alongside a variety of sensors, including those for light intensity, soil moisture, NPK, and the DHT-22. The system continuously collects environmental and soil data such as temperature, humidity, nutrient levels, moisture content, and light intensity. By tracking these essential parameters in real-time, the system allows for the early detection of adverse growing conditions, enabling farmers to implement timely and informed corrective measures. This proactive strategy not only boosts crop yields but also fosters sustainable farming practices by reducing resource waste. Additionally, the data gathered can be analyzed over time to identify trends and fine-tune agricultural strategies for future planting seasons. This continuous analysis can result in more accurate irrigation schedules, customized fertilization strategies, and enhanced pest management practices. In the end, utilizing soil data in this manner promotes a more resilient agricultural system that adjusts to shifting environmental conditions.
