Abstract
Our country major income from agriculture due to availability of cultivation land and
delta’s. Our country is top most food producer in the world. Life of everyone is based on the
agricultural. Due to various reason farmers and agricultural is always towards downward.
The main barriers are sudden rain, water scarcity, crops attacked by animals and insects,
lack of fertilizers etc. To overcome all the problems is initiation of modern technologies with
traditional method especially in cultivation land. Automation based agriculture help to solve
the problems.IOT technology which helps to overcome the problem in agriculture in our
country. IOT is usually transfer data between one things to another things major device are
sensors, actuators and other digital devices. The proposed system has soil moisture sensor,
smoke sensor and ultrasonic sensor to found event and environment conditions like presence
of fire and animal in cultivation area and it send message for further proceeds water motor is
based on soil moisture level, sprinkling of water to control the fire, activation of mechanism
to avoid the entry of animals into cultivation area and also spraying the pesticides to control
pest can be done. This method used to get more profit in agriculture and make agriculture
field as evergreen.
Keywords:-IOT , soil moisture sensor, smoke sensor, ultrasonic sensor
INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is one of the sectors where the
employment is always available in
india.Due to the increase of population
production of food also having more
demand in society. In future demand of
food will be main problem for peoples and
for farmer problems are weather condition
and sudden climate change so it should be
overcome to meet the success. Smart IOT
technology will help farmer to increase the
productivity with amount of fertilizer,
water need is another problem. Agriculture
land needs water for crop so conserve
water better. Fire also destroying the crop
and animals destroying the crop also some
animals injured the farmers. This factor
has probability of affecting 15 % in
cultivation. Finally shortage of food and
farmers commits suicides automation is
the only way to reduce risk factor and
improve the development frequently
monitor the agriculture system
improvement in agriculture leads to
improvement in food production
development in agriculture is development
of country economic strategy. However
some farmers still using traditional method
and getting less yield of crops.IOT
technology is smart work process is easy
and intelligent in nature become
informative explore technology leads to
solution for whole world groundnut
farmers and groundnut agriculture.

RELATED WORKS
Crop production can improve by spraying
fertilizer in required quantities to field to
avoid over or excess of fertilizer to
field[1].GPS used to monitor the entry of
birds and animals in the field to control
that [3].monitoring the field by sensing
with low battery power consumption in
designing the circuit[2].IOT and wireless
sensor sense the leaf of crop proper scaling
leads to improvement in production.
Surveying the problem faced by farmers
remote sensor framework used to check
conditions and control them data can be
accessed in smart phone of farmer [4].
Backup of all process can retrieved due to
usage of cloud remote controlled vehicle
that can be operated on manual and
automatic modes it can perform the
process like cutting, cleaning unwanted
plant in field and spraying etc mainly
checks moisture and temperature.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
Fig.1:- Proposed System of Smart Groundnut Farming
Our system consist of different types of
sensor such as temperature sensors,
humidity sensors, ultrasonic sensors and
smoke sensors .these sensors collects the
data from field and sends to system. If
moisture level is low in soil, water is
pumped out to crops .When enough
moisture in soil water pump automatically
turn off. The entry of animal or bird in
field it is detected by ultrasonic sensors
and it get active while entry it makes high
volume such as drum sound during night
LED blinks or motion of object in field
.ultrasonic sensors also monitor plant
growth and presence of pest that damage
crops that can be control by spraying
pesticides it detect fire or smoke in field
water is sprayed by sprinkler. So this
method will improve the groundnut
farming.
PROPOSED SYSYEM OF SMART
GROUNDNUT FARMING
The diagram shows that input and output
devices input devices include moisture
sensor (LM35), flame sensor (MQ2) and
ultrasonic sensor (HCSR04). It is used to
sense environmental parameter. Output
devices are alarm/buzzer system, LED and
sprinklers/water pumps. It can control by

proper operation. Generally groundnut
farm has basic problems are entry of crow, rat and water scarcity. Surely it helps
to produce good yield.
METHODOLOGY
The methodology used here fully based on
IOT and its sensor initiate the process has
work of monitoring the environment by
sensing the activities like sensing the soil
and climate for moisture level maintenance
and sensing the motion by ultrasonic and
intimate as alarm bird or animal inside the
field. Each and every action is send to
smart phone of farmer and the backup data
is stored in the cloud for the future
reference of farmer. Data collecting and it
compared to premise level given by the
farmer if it is normal sensors will be
normal if value exit the level .sensor
activate the output such as alarming while
animal entry ,watering the field when
moisture level is low and spraying the
water while fire or smoke occur in field.
Pesticides also frequently sprayed to field
to control the pest in the plant. This
process will repeat continuously as like
looping process. Major groundnut farm is
suffered with all the above factors. Surely
this smart groundnut farming IOT system
will increase the yield and
future enhancement technique.

CONCLUSION
The main objective of this paper is to
advancement in the agriculture field to
improve the cultivation of drops. The
system has ability of monitoring the soil
moisture, detrimental entry of animal and
detection of fire. The moisture level is
sensed and intimated to farmer and also
water pumps from motor the fire also
sensed by the sensor and water sprinkling
immediately activated to control the fire,
ultrasonic sensor detect entry of animal
and bird in the field and alarm or light start
blink in the field crop growth also
monitored by IOT sensor if leaf is affected
by pest pesticides are sprayed to crop if
needed. This system will most preferable
for any crop cultivation.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
This system is frequently applied in the
agricultural area and data is collected; data
analytics help to assess crop development.
Data analytics plays a major role, it is
better for the farmer to found prevention in
the farm next time. Suitable sensors
required to sense the particular area from
the field. Advance technology are avail
GPS, Wi-Fi, WSN and other technologies
to enlarge its services. Enhancement of our

project with the concept of digital image
processing can improve the objective of
the project by classifying the birds or an
object entering the farm, such that
prevention measures can be plan
accordingly.
