Conservation Agriculture with Retractable Roof Control Using GSM Technology

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in our country. So as to create the sustainable agriculture, this technique is proposed. Arduino Uno is employed to control the entire system with the assistance of various sorts of sensors (Water level sensor, Humidity Sensor, LDR, Soil Moisture sensor, and Rain sensor.) By using solar energy as a power supply we can implement this project in rural areas where “Insufficient Electricity�. The crop’s growth will affect if over stagnant of water present in the field. So the Gate valve used here will automatically open when water level sensor senses the maximum level and evict the additional water present within the field. Once it reaches the typical level, the gate valve will be closed. The changes within the climate are measured by Humidity sensor or LDR, to secure the crops from the heavy rainfall during Seed Germination. The harvested crops are placed in an open space for drying. When a rain fall occurs suddenly, the retractable roof will be open to save the harvested crops from the rainfall. These techniques inform the user about the water level, soil moisture content, humidity, even rainfall via SMS with the help of GSM module and these parameters are displayed by LCD in the field for manual verifications.
