    India is an agricultural country with an ample amount of arable land that produces wide variety of crops. Growing population and urbanization puts up challenges: more and quality yield in limited area, effective utilization of water resources, inculcating technology with traditional mechanisms, to be faced. A crop irrigation management system with sensor data fetch, transfer and operate functionalities is proposed to meet the expectations. The system comprises of: sensing, data processing and actuator sections, with a network of ambient temperature and humidity at a height and, soil moisture sensor placed at the root zone of the subject. The sensor generated data is compressed and then sent to an FTP server for processing. At the server, a 2-layer Neural Network with 4-Inputs, plant growth, temperature, humidity and soil moisture is used for decision making that controls water supply, fertilizer spray, etc. and a plant is used as the test object. Results show that there is tolerable error in the reconstructed data and 62.5% and 67.5% compression is achieved for ambient temperature, humidity and soil moisture respectively. The decisions are only 2% erroneous when done using Neural Networks using this data. Thus, due to its good data handling, decision making capabilities for precise water usage, being portable and user-friendly, this system proves beneficial in home gardens, greenhouses

    Future e-Health systems will consist of low-power, on-body wireless sensors attached to mobile users that interact with a ubiquitous computing environment. This kind of system needs to be able to configure itself with little or no user input; more importantly, it is required to adapt autonomously to changes such as user movement, device failure, the addition or loss of services, and proximity to other such systems. This extended abstract describes the basic architecture of a Self-Managed Cell (SMC) to address these requirements, and discusses various forms of federation between/among SMCs. This structure is motivated by a typical e-Health scenario

    Plants, flowers and crops are living things around us that makes our earth more productive and beautiful. In order to growth healthy, they need water, light and nutrition from the soil in order to effect cleaning air naturally and produce oxygen to the world. Therefore, a technology that manage to brilliantly control plants watering rate according to its soil moisture and user requirement is proposed in this paper. The developed system included an Internet of Things (IoT) in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) environment where it manages and monitors the irrigation system either manually or automatically, depending on the user requirement. This proposed system applied Arduino technology and NRF24L01 as the microprocessor and transceiver for the communication channel, respectively. Smart agriculture and smart lifestyle can be developed by implementing this technology for the future work. It will save the budget for hiring employees and prevent from water wastage in daily necessities

    Traceable Ecosystem and Strategic Framework for the Creation of an Integrated Pest Management System for Intensive Farming

    The appearance of pests is one of the major problems that exist in the growth of crops, as they can damage the production if the appropriate measures are not taken. Within the framework of the Integrated Pest Management strategy (IPM), early detection of pests is an essential step in order to provide the most appropriate treatment and avoid losses. This paper proposes the architecture of a system intensive farming in greenhouses featuring the ability to detect environmental variations that may favour the appearance of pests. This system can suggest a plan or treatment that will help mitigate the effects that the identified pest would produce otherwise. Furthermore, the system will learn from the actions carried out by the humans throughout the different stages of crop growing and will add it as knowledge for the prediction of future actions. The data collected from sensors, through computer vision, or the experiences provided by the experts, along with the historical data related to the crop, will allow for the development of a model that contrasts the predictions of the actions that could be implemented with those already performed by technicians. Within the technological ecosystems in which the Integrated Pest Management systems develop their action, traceability models must be incorporated. This will guarantee that the data used for the exploitation of the information and, therefore for the parameterization of the predictive models, are adequate. Thus, the integration of blockchain technologies is considered key to provide them with security and confidence

    Agriculture is undoubtedly a leading field for livelihoods in China. As the population increases, it is necessary to increase agricultural productivity. By capturing the support and the increment in production on farms, the need for freshwater used for irrigation increases too. Presently, agriculture accounts for 80% of overall water uptake in China. Unexpected overflow of water carelessly leads to waste of water. Therefore we created a programmed plant irrigation system with Arduino that mechanically supplies water to the plants and keeps it updated by transferring the message to user. Plant irrigation system employs the soil moisture sensor which controls a degree of moisture in the soil. If the humidity degree is lower, Arduino activates a pump of water to supply water to the system. The pump of water stops by design when the organism detects sufficient moisture in the ground. Each time the system is switched off or on, an electronic messaging is conveyed to the end-user through the IoT unit, informing the position of the soil moisture and the pump of water. A spray motor and the pump of water are grounded on the crane concept. Widely, this system is applicable for in small fields, gardens farms, etc. This design is entirely programmed and needed no human involvement. Furthermore, transmission of the sensor readings send through a Thing speak frequency to produce graphic elements for better inquiry. This study gathers the ideas of IoT (Internet of Things) with some engineering tools like machinery, artificial intelligence and use of sensors in an efficient way to respond current needs and extraction of resources by availing scientific methods and procedures that work on inputs. Moreover, this study further defines the engineering works that have been part of this field, but it requires more efficiency and reduction of energy as well as costs by adding more contribution of IoT in the field of agriculture engineering
