Abstract

Agriculture is an important source of livelihood. The rising agricultural surplus is caused by increasing and improving agricultural production and productivity which tends to improve the public welfare, specifically in rural areas. Country like India, Agriculture is the backbone of the developing nation, the productivity and yield profit has impact on the financial development. Agriculture sector in India records for 18% of India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides employment to 50% of the country’s workforce. India is the world’s largest producer of pulses, rice, wheat, spices and spice product. Since the Indian Agriculture is plagued by several problems. The major problem is the SELECTION OF SEEDS that suits the soil considering the soil parameters such as pH value and type. Though the technologies available in the market help the farmer to test the soil parameters and the seed quality, selecting the appropriate seed is still a problem Farmers face a severe problem on selecting a crop based on the soil and seed aspect.so we suggest a solution for this problem. By selecting the right crop for the given soil conditions and climate, one can optimize yields and save requirements for irrigation. Without testing the seeds and directly cultivating may leads to the crop failure. To overcome this, we must test the seed quality. The quality of good seed is based on the germination (high percentage of normal seedlings) and vigourness. A single device that helps the farmer by measuring the soil parameters using IoT technology and suggesting the crop that suits the soil and also calculate the germination of the seed. This helps to increase the productivity rate.
