Abstract
As the global population continues to burgeon, sustainable and efficient agricultural practices are essential to meet the increasing demands for food production while safeguarding the environment. Zero-till farming, characterized by minimal soil disturbance during cultivation, offers a promising approach to achieve these objectives. The present methods of seed sowing are time consuming and inconvenient to handle. To overcome these difficulties, the present research work focuses on the development of specialized equipment and an internet of things (IoT)-based monitoring system to enhance zero-till farming practices. The equipment component of this study encompasses the development of a non-tilling seed sower with solid fertilizer sprayer, alongside field monitoring capabilities. This research contributes to the advancement of precision agriculture and the promotion of sustainable food production systems, ultimately addressing the pressing challenges of global food security and ecological preservation.
