Abstract :

Farming is the main occupation in India and the climate of a particular place becomes an important factor. Also every region has a different type of soil. The Quality of soil decides the type of crop that is a best fit for it. But soil lacks many important nutrients at some places so though there is land, still no plantation can take place. So one needs to not only keep a check on parameters like pH & moisture content of soil but also overall temperature and humidity of the place. Till date, individuals are taking above measurements manually and also keeping a periodic check on them. In India, from every state around 9 to 10 lakhs of soil samples are sent for testing in laboratories located in the vicinity. But often due to abundance of soil samples and less number of soil testing labs with very limited man power, the farmers have to wait long to get crop recommendations for their field. Plus the farmers now-a-days take 2 to 3 different type of crops in a year. So they need to have proper knowledge and guidance related to the above in addition to which fertilizers are required to be sprayed for supplying additional nutrients in order to get maximum yield. This paper presents a review of the different approaches of soil nutrient testing while deciding the flow of work to be done in developing an integrated electronic system to analyze soil nutrients.
