Rfid Based Pesticides Dosing With Automatic Plant Irrigation For Agriculture Applications

This paper focuses on the automatic pesticide dosing using Arduino. In India, 70% of the population is engaged in farming; hence most of the earning is from farming. Farmers used various types of pesticides for proper growth of the crop in large scale. And 75-80% of farmers preferred manual method for mixing and spraying those toxic chemicals which are hazardous for health. This project provides the solution to this mixing problem; and we have achieved it by design and construction of an automatic pesticide mixing system. The function of the project is that it senses the moisture level in the soil. If the moisture level in the soil is below the threshold then it will turn on the motor for water. The other part of the paper is the mixing of pesticides and solvents in a container. The proportions of the pesticide and solvents to be mixed is decided using a RF-ID tag, i.e. different proportions of solvents and pesticides will get mixed in the mixing container for different RF-ID tags. This helps avoiding the job of mixing toxic pesticides manually for the farmer and avoids health hazards. And also the accurate proportions of the mixture help in increasing the efficiency of the pesticides to be dosed.
