Heart Of Soil (Matir Pran)
It is a smart soil testing device to measure pH and moisture of soil. We also made an android app. After collecting data, we will get suggestions form app. By using this device people can test soil and get report in app on time.
Farmers in rural area haven’tscientific knowledge about their field and soil. All they know manual and traditionalmethods to determine the type or condition of soil. But if they could knowexact information about soil and what harvest grows well in that condition thenthey will able to grow more harvest.
So we tried to solve this problemby developing a simple and easiest system.
Device should be able to determinethe soil quality and condition like pH, Temperature, Soil moisture etc. By thistime they should get a feedback according to soil condition. So we made asimplest android app as possible.
We’ve used an ArduinoUno board andsome sensors to sense the moisture, pH, temperature, soil type etc. We alsomade an android app according to results we get from sensors. Server will storeand analyse data and give a feedback to user/farmer in their language.
Problems we’re facing by the timewe develop this system are, most of existing methods of determining soil type, soilelements uses chemical
Test. But we need digital sensors.So we have to find out the sensor if they exist or make any alternativesolutions. As farmers will use this device, so we also need to make thischeaper as possible.
