Smart IoT Based Water and Fertilization System

Abstract

ABSTRACT This project describes the design, development and evaluation of a Smart IoT Based Water and Fertilization System that utilizing IoT technology. Its goal is to address issues, in agriculture such as reducing water usage, improving fertilizer efficiency and promoting precision agricultural methods. The system integrated with sensors to monitor soil moisture, temperature, humidity and nutrient levels using IoT technology. This enables adjustments of watering and fertilization based on the requirements of each crop. The innovative Smart IoT Water and Fertilizer System is designed with a technological foundation that encompasses both front-end and back-end components to ensure seamless operation and user interaction. Angular is utilized for creating a dynamic and responsive user interface while Redux efficiently manages the applications state on the end. On the backend the system uses .NET Core for its services, Entity Framework for object mapping, PostgreSQL as database for data handling SignalR for real-time communication and MQTT, for IoT messaging. This system is hosted on Azure offering data management capabilities, real time communication features and user-friendly interface. The system has evaluated with a survey and a small-scale pilot project. Based on the results, a few modifications were made to algorithms to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the system. The project will be extended to the next stage of development to include a mobile app and a rainwater utilization feature with the capability to handle more crops.
