Project Report on AUTOMATIC FERTILIZER DISPENSING MACHINE

Abstract

ABSTRACT India‟s population reached beyond 1.2 billion and population rate is increasing day- by-day; then after 25-30 years there will be a serious problem for food, so the development of agriculture is necessary. Today the farmers are suffering from the lack of rains and scarcity of water. The main objective of the project is to provide an automatic irrigation system and also to check the amount of three major macronutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K), in the soil thereby saving time, money and power of farmer. The N, P, and K amounts in the soil sample are determined by comparing the solution with colour chart. The colour chart values are stored on to the processor. This wil describe the amount of N, P, and K as high, medium, low. The traditional farm land techniques require manual intervention which is time consuming and the productivity will be less. The manual irrigation technique will results in the wastage of water. With the automated technology of irrigation, human intervention can be minimized.
