 Introduction

• Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil; the process of increasing the
salt content is known salinization.

•soil testing means identifying the amount of salts present.

• Salts occur naturally within soils and water. salinization can be caused
by natural processes such as mineral weathering or by the gradual
withdrawal of an ocean.

•Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a soil.

•Soil pH affects the availability of some plant nutrients.

 Problem
• Soil salinity is an enormous problem for agriculture under irrigation. In the hot and
dry regions the soils are frequently saline with low agricultural potential.

• According to National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA) dataset, the loss of production
in India was Rupees (Rs) 68 billion in 1988–1989 .

• Salinity not only decreases the agricultural production of most crops, but also, effects
soil physicochemical properties, and ecological balance of the area.

•The impacts of salinity include—low agricultural productivity, low economic returns

and soil erosions.
• According to a survey, an area of 6.73 million ha of salt affected soils was estimated
for the entire country.

• Salinity also affect the ph of soil. The soil pH usually increases when the salinity
increases.

• ph should be maintained at above 5.5 in the topsoil and 4.8 in the subsurface.

• Salinity increases the ph of soil above >7 which results in the destruction of the crops.
 Solution

Our Solution Basically Has Two Parts

Hardware Software
1.pH Sensor 1.Android App
2.Microcontroller( Arduino Nano)
3. Electrical Conductivity Sensor
4. ESP 8266 ( Wi-Fi module)
Circuit
Customer Segment

• Our major customers will be small

and medium scale farmers.

• Since in India , Salinity is one of the

most severe environmental factors
limiting the productivity of
agricultural crops, So we will provide
data and related solution so that the
farmers grow crops according to the
regional constraints.
