Inventors: Koshariya, A. K., Sharma, S. C., Dhaka, S. S., Rathore, M., Jain, A., Sharma, A., Jasrai, L, Verma, R., Masih, J., Lodhi, A. S., Republic of South Africa Patent Grant No. ZA202201589B; Grant Date: 29-06-2022. Republic of South Africa patent, application no. ZA2022/01589A filed on 07.02.2022.
ABSTRACT
The present invention relates to an IOT based precision soil fertility measurement system (100) for organic farming. The system (100) comprises a soil testing unit (102), a data repository (112), and one or more display units (114). The soil testing unit (102) is configured to test soil fertility for organic farming. The soil testing unit (102) comprises a plurality of sensors (104), a pH analyzing unit (106), and a central processing unit (108). The one or more display units (114) are configured to provide user inference and display the received information by the soil testing unit (102) in real-time. The IoT-based precision soil fertility measurement system (100) for organic farming can reduce fertilizer abuse and help to safeguard the environment.
