Sensor Fusion for IoT based Intelligent Agriculture System

Agriculture is the mainly needed source of human being, 48% of total available land is occupied by the agriculture, and it consumes 80% of fresh water available in earth. This water consumption figure is ever-increasing every year due to globalization and population growth. There is a challenge in front of every country to sustain the fresh food requirement and reducing the farm water consumption. Irrigation is the method of obtaining food materials from the soil. The water requirement to the soil depends on soil properties like soil type, soil quality, soil moisture and soil temperature. It also depends on the crop which grows in the agricultural land. From the last few decades, the few technologies employing for reducing the consumption of water to the agriculture, but these technologies have some limitations. From these systems, soil watering is done without analyzing the properties of the soil. Due to this, the system apply anon-uniform water to the soil results in less cultivates. Also the technology requires more human involvement and time consumption. So we require modern technology to resolve this problem and support better irrigation management.
