ANALYSIS OF CONTAMINATION OF SOIL BY SENSORMONITORING SYSTEMS: A GREEN TECHNOLOGYManvi Bajaj, Preksha Swami, Anshita Singla, Vanshika Mittal, Jyoti Chawla and Shagufta JabinAbstract The soil is a significant element of the landscape because it affects the crops, distribution of natural vegetationand human settlements across the landscape. Soil contains organic matter, liquids, gases as well as numerousmicrobes. Soil quality monitoring plays the most important role in sustainable crop production. Monitoringof soil using traditional methods requires many tests to be conducted in order to predict the soil quality.Soil testing entails the analysis of a soil sample from a specific land that includes estimation of pH, electricalconductivity for moisture content, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK) level, temperature, etc. Thereare many challenges for direct monitoring of soil quality in terms of its chemical, biological and physicalcharacteristics. However, with the advancement in sensor technology, certain sensors for soil qualitymonitoring have been developed and commercially available too. In this paper, the design and developmentof available sensor monitoring system for remote monitoring quality of soil has been reviewed. The objectiveis to explore the different kinds of sensors systems that can be used for predicting soil quality. Internet ofThings (IoT) based sensors are efficient, and provide quick results with lesser resources. |
