Precision farming techniques using IoT sensor modules
How precision farming helps to counter sudden climate change
Climate has a dominant influence on various types of farming, be it livestock husbandry or agriculture. Human intervention has greatly affected the environmental balance, which has made drastic changes to the climate. Precision farming has the advantage that it is tolerant to sudden climate change. For proper functioning of precision farming, we need appropriate sensing mechanism to track the environmental changes.
Nowadays farmers are becoming more and more aware of the precision farming techniques that would help them increase their productivity. The Smart Farm Platform IoT sensor module helps in achieving precision farming and has all the capability that can meet your farm requirements. It works on a shared network and can be deployed over the farm to collect data like temperature, humidity, soil moisture etc.
Importance of sensing environmental parameters in farming
Environmental parameters such as humidity and temperature have a great influence on the yield in case of crop farming. Most of the crops need specific humidity and temperature level at each stage of the cultivation. In livestock farming, humidity and temperature greatly affect the immune system of the livestock and can even pose threat to its life. The Smart Farm Platform IoT sensor has the provision to incorporate DHT_11/22 sensor module which can sense and track the temperature and humidity status of the farm surroundings instantly.
In crop farming, fertilizer has to be given in the proper level to compensate the pH imbalance in the soil. Similarly watering should be triggered whenever the soil moisture level goes beyond the minimum threshold level. Smart Farm Platform IoT sensor module has the provision to incorporate up to 3 analog sensors. The 3 analog input ports can be used to connect sensor for soil pH monitoring, soil moisture monitoring and electrical conductivity in aquaculture or aquaponics.
To make it short the IoT sensor module in our Smart Farm Platform can be configured easily according to your farm’s needs and demands. These type of precision farming solutions would help in monitoring the current farm situation and will prompt you to take necessary actions to increase your productivity.
