Abstract

The paper describes a microcontroller based model to test the soil sample for five different parameters viz moisture, temperature, pH, resistivity, and conductivity built using ATMEGA32. The readings sensed are stored in an Excel sheet through a Visual Basic code. The saved readings will be read in MATLAB software and graphical representations will be done in MATLAB. Data is secured at the file level and also while accessing the folder through passwords so that there is no unwanted interference. Conditions are tested by using Fuzzy logic and desired conditions necessary for plant growth will be concluded. Also, the graphs can be viewed on an ANDROID operating mobile phone system wherein users can view the plots by using the application MATLAB mobile. GSM modem SIM900 is used to send the readings via SMS to the concerned person giving scope for communication. Through this project, we can study variations in soil properties, the concept of precision farming and sustainable agriculture, overcome the limitations in conventional techniques, analyze the plant growth conditions and include scope for communication.
