An Innovative Micro-Controller Based Crop Recommender Using Soil Analysis and Weather Forecasting Technique

摘要

India is a vast country where agriculture is a source of living for the majority of the population. Due to technical barriers, the output percentage in the agriculture sector is not up to the mark as and when compared to the effort that is being put in by our farmers. In this project, we have proposed an idea of a crop-recommender that will take the soil details and weather forecast of the area through API call and based on that input will recommend crops that can be grown in the area. In our proposal, we have developed a microcontroller based device to test the soil sample and a web-portal for analyzing and displaying the result. The entire process has been developed keeping the literacy percentage of the farmers in mind, thereby making the process quite simple and user friendly. Our proposed work is to enable the farmers to cultivate in their fields with more efficiency and reduce the crop damage percentage. This will enable to bring back ―Green-Revolution‖ in India.
