Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Automated Agricultural Land Testing & Analysis Device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Rapid change in climate and environment directly affecting the living habitat and mostly the agricultural land. To prevent the crops to be damaged, farmers are using harmful chemicals and pesticides which are not so good for the crops, soil, environment cycle and the organisms present there, also identifying the healthiness of plants, getting real time data of soil, exact and required values of NPK and other chemicals in soil, moisture level is the problem statement identified. There is a need arise to introduced a system or framework to check the conditions and test the agriculture land time to time so that some necessary actions can be taken on time to reduce the crops damage as well as to minimize the environmental issues. With the help current technologies and preventions, the problem remains same. The current techniques require collection of soil sample then taking it to laboratory which can be located far away or techniques like portable devices which measure the NPK or other chemical values in minutes but this requires an expert to check the reports and then tell the farmer about the conditions of his land.
However in precision of getting the real-time data, knowing plants healthy condition, devices use so that farmers can get the reports in their own native language which can resolve the issue of wasting time to reach labs and wait for several days.
We are introducing smart agricultural device (ALTAD) which can resolve the issues mentioned above.
This device can be setup on the agricultural land and sends the received data from land directly to the software and also on its display in native language.
With the help of supervised learning we feed the existing data and all the necessary things which helps in farming so that the device can learn itself on time and diagnose the result of tests and provide optimum solution for the problems.
US2280592A Monitoring of environmental factors is very important over the last few decades. In particular, monitoring agricultural environments for various factors such as temperature, moisture, humidity along with other factors can be of more significance. A traditional approach to measure these factors in an agricultural environment meant individuals are taking measurements manually and checking the mat various times. In India, every state around 9 to 10 lakes soil samples have been reviving in laboratories and it is very difficult to test all the soil sample in the stipulated. But soil analysis is the major role for farmers to cultivate and produce to the proper crop. In this paper the soil condition and nutrients level in soil are analyzed by Arduino.
RESEARCH GAP: Making Device more advanced and enhanced for testing and analysis of agricultural land will be easy with the help of more data of soil, humidity, moisture, gases present nearby and best solutions for the current conditions, scenario and actions that should be taken. After detecting the exact location of the land to be tested our device will tell the conditions and requirements according to the areal soil. For that information we will collaborate with each state’s agricultural department because of the different variety and necessity of soil for better outcome we will try to show our data within 1 day.
WO2004079365A1 The present invention relates to methods for the preparation and analysis of soil samples to determine the presence, concentration and/or volume of at least one component in a soil sample, including preparation steps of extracting the component from the sample by use of aqueous solution and, depending on the element, adding a complexing agent to the aqueous solution and soil mixture. The resulting mixture is then able to be analyzed via NIR or UV/Vis spectrometry as the component, not normally detectable via NIR or UV/Vis spectrometry, is converted into an accurately measurable form. The methods of the present invention may be used to obtain a test result on site and within a time period of 10 to 45 minutes rather than a time period of days using present methods.
RESEARCH GAP: Adding an old method of finding the health of crops into a new digital form in our device. In early times there was method known as colour matching method which was used to check whether the crop is growing good or not. How? By checking the leaves or stems of the crops after few weeks of harvesting. A book having multiple colour as same as healthy leaves of plant is matched with the growing crop. Now we are using that method with technology enhancement by applying Supervised Learning so that the device can understand the method and make more progress on it. By using this technique, we can get the data more accurately and efficiently. However, it solve the challenge of data classification through ML.
US201403453--94A1 A portable soil testing apparatus and method including a device to mix a soil sample in a cup with water to create a slurry, immersing a sensor in the slurry to detect a soil property and recording the soil property along with location information. The soil testing apparatus includes a frame, a computer secured within the frame, the computer operatively connected to a touch screen display and a pump. The pump providing water from a tank and into a cup containing a soil sample. A stirring station including a stirring rod and a motor is controlled by the computer and mixes the soil sample and water to create a slurry. A sensor is then immersed in the slurry to detect a desired soil property. The soil property data is then recorded by the computer on a storage medium, transmitted to a user or displayed.
RESEARCH GAP: Breaking the complexity into smaller steps for testing the condition of soil. The GPS will detect the location and our device will automatically set the required conditions for that particular soil. The NPK sensors rod will be dipped into the wet area of farming land and the device will start taking readings of NPK on per square foot. After getting the readings, device will analyse the result with the required levels and provide a detailed analysis with solution Increasing the ability so that the device can deliver the result analysis in native language. With the aid of machine learning, the device will inform the classification Between the test results and future development by monitoring all tests and their outcomes with change in weather
