AgriGeek - A Mobile Application based on Smart Farming Hybrid Monitoring System

Abstract

In olden days our ancestors followed an effective seasonal method for traditional agriculture. But due to changes in the climatic conditions and natural disasters, the seasonal method is not working effectively nowadays. Internet of Things is trying to do smart farming and it’s becoming a trend now. But, research shows that the smart farming is degrading the quality of farming and agriculture. In order to provide a quality farming, we propose a new dynamic clustering and data gathering system for harnessing the IoT in agriculture. This paper provides a new IoT based Smart Farming using Hybrid Monitoring System called the AgriGeek, supported with a mobile interfaced application which improves the efficiency of smart farming. AgriGeek helps the farmers to remotely monitor and control their farmland, harvested crops and farming equipment through mobile phones. A well-connected farming network has been created for knowledge sharing among the farmers by measuring agri-related information like temperature, humidity, soil PH, soil nutrition levels and water level, which helps us to do the traditional agriculture via smart farming.
