Agriculture is a key factor for food supply and plays an ultimate role for people to survive worldwide. In recent years, climate changes and weather fluctuations around the world has affected the quality of crops and harvest. Intelligent agriculture is an emerging field of agriculture that employs the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor, optimize, and enhance overall efficiency agricultural process. It can avoid the excess application of fertilizers and enable the farmer to plant his crops correctly. This paper proposes in intelligent agriculture nutrition and fertilization monitoring system. The system aims to remote monitoring, improve resource management, enhance crop quality, and increase efficiency. It uses ESP8266 Node MCU microcontroller connected to the NPK soil sensor to monitor soil conditions. This includes NPK sensor that measures temperature, humidity, the levels of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus in soil. The nutrient levels will be adjusted based on sensor readings. The system integrates a mobile interface, enabled by a wireless connection, allowing users to remotely monitor and control the system through a mobile application. This feature offers flexibility and convenience, enabling users to adjust settings, view sensor data, and receive alerts from anywhere at any time.
