SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, which is further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify the advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail in the accompanying drawings.
The National Mission on Clean Ganga (NMCG), Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), and Bhartiya Prakritik Krishi Padhdhati (BPKP) are a few of the government-sponsored programs that aim to enhance soil health through organic farming. However, practical solutions are required to accomplish this goal and boost farmer economies by lowering input costs. More focus must be placed on the production of biofertilizers, organic manure, organic fertilizer, phosphorus-rich organic manure (PROM), vermicompost, bio-control, and bio-pesticides using biotechnology. Organic farming can lessen soil erosion, enhance soil health and product quality, lessen water pollution, save water, increase local biodiversity, and ease the financial strain on farmers. PKVY and BPKP aid in advancing Atmanirbhar Bharat's objective. Thus, the present proposed an IoT based system for productivity increase in organic farming. The system is based on various kinds of sensors that are essential for an organic farm such as pH sensor, soil temperature sensor, soil conductivity sensor, MOS sensor for organic matter estimation/detection.
