Abstract: The main aim of this proposed system is to measure of the N(nitrogen), P(phosphorus) and K(potassium) contents of soil
and according to result, we can add the necessary elements in the soil. The N,
P and K amounts in the soil sample is determined by comparing the solution with
colour chart. This will describe amount of N, P and K as- high, medium, low and
none. The types of nutrients present in the soil - macronutrients (nutrients
required in large quantities) and micronutrients (nutrients required in smaller
quantities). Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium are mainly required in large
amount in soil. “NPK measurement, automatic seeding and fertilizer dispensing
robot” system will check the amount of the three main fertilizers which are
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil and will dispense the required
amount of nutrient. A NPK kit which is used for testing of the soil sample is
in existence but the fertilizers dispensing is to be done manually. This problem
will be rectified in this system. This proposed system will saves labour, time
and obtain better results with using less amount of fertilizers. The same
system can be used for seeding also.
Keywords: NPK measurement, digging, automatic seeding, fertilizer dispensing.
