Abstract

This paper proposes an automatic system that makes the farm soil pH fertilized and suitable for crops. As the farming lands are getting infertile or barren due to many reasons, so this paper includes the solution for this problem. The main objective of the project is to develop an automatic system that maintain the soil pH of agricultural land. Plants plays a crucial role in everyone's life so to get a better crop, the most important things that should be there in the land that has accurate fertilizer, better irrigation facilities and best methods for cultivation. For this soil pH plays an important role. Our system uses Arduino and Soil PH sensors to monitor the different stages of plant cropping like, pH value and Nutrients of the soil. In this the Arduino board is used which is programmed to detect the pH of soil and take necessary actions to balance it.The main purpose of this project is to balance the soil pH until harvesting and also save electricity, reduce the wastage of water and increase the productivity of crop.

Keywords
