Abstract
In Agriculture, the demand for better crops is increasing rapidly and seeks proper management in the development of crop production for a better supply. The principle objective here is to implement the usage of technology, i.e. IoT and sensors to enhance the efficiency of the farming systems by providing farmers with the facility to utilize their time and interests in complete potential. This paper presents a custom-built cost-effective device by utilizing the notion of the MQTT IoT protocol that transfers data through the network systems and collects reports about the soil condition. It takes into consideration several factors that affect the health and living of a plant. These factors include the criteria of pH, temperature and moisture for soil, light availability, air temperature and humidity to take into account the present conditions of the plant. Our IoT device for agriculture enables seamless data collection and availability to cloud even for challenged Internet connection.
