Abstract

Agro-Sense: A cloud-enabled mobile app plays an important role in improving farming activities. This paper focuses on using cloud computing and Wireless Sensors Network (WSNs) technology to enhance the application and its benefits to the field of agriculture. The paper focuses on the Cloud Database which gives details of past agriculture work records of farmers. The farmers who have inculcated the system and installed the application on their Smartphones can register the application on their Smartphones can register, so that they can access as well as upload the data stored on the server and use the system efficiently. Light, Temperature, and Humidity and Soil moisture will be the various WSNs used. The main activities of the sensors are to sense and measure the environmental data from the fields. The farmer will get the notifications of condition in his field by these sensors. When the water level in the field reduces, the farmer will get notification, so that he can switch ON the motor through his Smartphone. The motor will get switched OFF automatically when the sufficient water supply is provided in the farm up to the threshold value. The main objective is to optimize the efforts and time of farmer and perform efficient farming to increase productivity.
