Site Specific Crop Management System (SSCMS)

Abstract

Precision Agriculture is the intelligent method of crop management that employs a variety of automated techniques and sensors to monitor variations in the fields and respond with alternative strategies. This can be described as an endeavor to enhance the outcomes of practical farming. Precision Agriculture can be used to sustainably intensify agriculture. The world's population is increasing, and this increase will be accompanied by a rise in food demand. To continue to sustain the growing population in the future, intelligent agricultural practices must be implemented. Due to water scarcity issues in Baluchistan, less water is available for agriculture. Monitoring crop health, intelligent irrigation, and pesticide detection are incorporated into our proposed project. Intelligent irrigation systems utilize finite water resources more intelligently. With the aid of a web application, farmers can better manage their crops by monitoring the crop using sensors installed in the field and supplying them with useful data. By capturing images of plant leaves with a smartphone, farmers can detect plant maladies. Our project's data sources consist of sensor-collected information and smartphone-captured images. We chose the NUST Baluchistan Campus as our education area. The proposed pilot project can be expanded so that farmers in Baluchistan can implement smarter agricultural practices on their properties.
