ABSTRACT
The essentials for human life are food, housing, and clothes, all of which are dependent on agriculture for their production. In day-by-day agriculture, farmers are facing more challenges such as lack of fertilizers, lack of irrigation, lack of mechanization, soil erosion, and small and fragmented landholdings. This paper aimed to give solutions for all of the above challenges and tested in the land of the seed Coriandrum sativum (dhaniya). The objective is to design a Smart farming kit with an Arduino microcontroller and used to detect live data such as (pH, soil condition, temperature, and water sources). Our farming consists of two modes, namely testing mode and sampling mode. The main idea is to provide irrigation techniques through two kinds of methods. A bore well (priority 1) and water tank (priority 2) can be used. If water can be taken from any of the water sources to the land for our choice using water pump motor. Excess fertilizers may result in soil erosion and indirectly affect crop nutrients. We aim to provide two fertilizers (Calcium and Potassium) for the accurate level of the crop with water pump control. Coriandrum sativum is an annual herb belonging to the Apiaceae family. The seed of the crop showed good results compared with the cereal crop seeds. The crop is generally grown in 20-25 days and this farming technique gives 100% success with higher accuracy and may help in large-scale farming in the future.
