IoT Based Monitoring and Controlling Mechanism for Orange Orchard
In orange fields, precision agriculture is essential for farmer prosperity, yet challenges like soil fertility persist. This study explores implementation of IoT (Internet of Things) technology for monitoring orange cultivation in Nagpur's agricultural landscape. With the economic prosperity of local farmers intricately linked to the management of agronomic variables, the inherent uncertainties surrounding factors like soil fertility andenvironmental dynamics pose formidable challenges. Thisproject presents an autonomous sensor interface for an 1oT-based monitoring and control system for orange orchards. The real working prototype consisting of Soil moisture sensor, DHT11 sensor to measure humidity and NPK sensors is designed and implemented. The Blynk mobile application and OLED display provides real-time monitoring capabilities. The Thingspeak platform helps asthe main base station for the online storage of sensorreadings. A dedicated mobile application is also provided to the farmers to get insights about soil nutrient levels and fertilizer requirement. By harnessing the transformative potential of IoT technology, this precision agriculture framework represents a significant advancement in the cultivation of oranges, promising enhanced economic prosperity and sustainability for Nagpur's farming community.
