Cloud Based Cultivation Management System

Abstract

In India, Agriculture is one of the most important areas of human activity. Most of the population depends on agriculture and farming. Indian economy directly depends upon agricultural production. Proper cultivation is very important to increase the production. The cultivation of plants includes various steps such as to analyze the environmental factors, analyze the soil moisture, temperature, and manage the water supply for proper cultivation of plants. A traditional way is very slow and unreliable for above steps. This paper proposes Cloud based Cultivation Management System. The system architecture allows user to achieve the above mentioned activities in real time so that farmers can view their farm details from anywhere (and do not need to go to farm) within range. System mainly includes Hardware module that placed in farm or farm field that contains various sensors, devices, ICs for data conversion and transfer. Then Cloud implemented as Software as a Services (SaaS) so that user can access the information from anywhere within range and finally the Android application through user can monitor system details, farm details and control the farm hardware remotely from anywhere within range. The advantage of this system is, it is not only specific to green house but it is also applicable to normal farm field. Using this system the environmental factors monitored and controlled correctly there will be improvement in the productivity.
