This time I am thinking of digitalizing the entire soil testing process. The present process involves of sampling and measuring the are given below.
In these methods the chemicals are mixed manually and the color is matched with the standard chart. This can be done automatically if we develop a circuit with the electrodes and software to print the amount of constituents.
The circuit block diagram and details about the microcontroller codes will be posted in the upcoming post. Leave a comment if you have ideas about this.
Laboratory tests often check for plant nutrients in 3 categories:
- Major nutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)
- Secondary nutrients: sulphur, calcium, magnesium
- Minor nutrients: iron, manganese, copper, zinc, boron, molybdenum, chlorine
Given below is the image of Do it Yourself kit of the soil testing method.
