    WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS BASED-INTERNET OF THING FOR AGRO-CLIMATIC PARAMETERS MONITORING AND REAL-TIME DATA ACQUISITION
    (Journal of Asian Scientific Research, 2017-05-25) Ajao, L. A., Agajo, J., Kolo, J. G., Maliki, D., & Adegboye, M. A
    The recent advent of internet of things technology with incorporating wireless sensor devices for supervisory, monitoring and security application has necessitated further development of embedded technology, of course, ability to monitor environmental conditions of greenhouse, gardens and farmland is crucial to research for effective seed germination, rapid plant growth and maximizing food production, which is due to some effect ranging from climate variability, soil information and irrigation periods. This paper proposes a real-time data acquisition and monitoring system for effectively monitoring changed in agricultural and environmental parameters using (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) Wi-Fi, wireless sensor system and Android Web Apps. It is more important and concerned in this research to proffer long way solution to the farmers, agronomist, meteorologist and others based on weather stations, climatic changes and soil conditions. The developed smart agroclimatic parameter monitoring system consists of ATmega2560 controller based measuring units which collects the value of wireless sensor nodes like temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil pH. These units send their data to the base station (BS), where data are collected and delivered through wireless module to the cloud database using HTTP POST where incoming data are stored. With android Web application, will permit users to view and download a real- time agro-climatic parameters on the dashboard using HTTP GET.

    A Sensor-Based Data Acquisition System for Soil Parameters to Determine Suitable Crops
    (2023) Abisoye, B. O.; Dogo, E. M.; Umar, B. U.; Mamman, I. Z.
    Soil parameters monitoring is significant in sustainable crop and food production. The standard strategy of soil parameters monitoring in developing and underdeveloped nations uses manual labor, resulting in wrong decisions in soil management. Inaccurate measurements due to sensor miscalibration or low sensor quality can lead to incorrect soil management decisions and negatively impact crop yield and environmental sustainability. Due to the mentioned challenges, this work aims to develop a Sensor-based Data Acquisition System for Soil Parameters that will enable users to observe various soil parameters like temperature, humidity, water level and soil pH. The system was developed using the combination of hardware and software components. The hardware component comprises of sensory and processing parts. The study calibrates sensors using known pH, moisture, and temperature values for specific crops to grow in Nigeria. The system will aid farmers in determining suitable crops for their farmland and increasing crop yield. The system collects data through a network of sensors installed in the soil and wirelessly transmits the data to a cloud-based server. The collected data is then analyzed and visualized in through a web-based dashboard, providing farmers with information about the state of their soil. The performance evaluation of the system was carried out using response time and accuracy. The average response time of the system was 4 seconds, and the percentage error for temperature and humidity readings when compared to weather forecast readings were 8.20% and 5.08%, respectively. The results show that the proposed system can provide accurate and reliable measurements of soil parameters and can be easily deployed and operated by small-scale farmers. Using this system can result in improved crop yields, reduced wastage, and better overall efficiency in agricultural operations.
