"MACHINE LEARNING BASED PLANT GROWTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM"
2. PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
3. DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of agriculture, where electronic instruments, together with Machine Learning, are used for effective cultivation.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Agricultural automation is a farmer's dream wherefrom the plantation to harvesting is intended to be fully automatic. Though several inventions and disclosers have made a significant effort in automating agriculture in fragments, full pledge automation is yet a dream. Moreover, the plant/crop growth is predictable but not the market demand. When the plant/crop is harvested, the market demand, which is volatile, may decrease the Return on Investment (ROI) of the farmer.
[0003] Numerous prior arts have made attempts to automate the farming process in fragment way rather than a complete system. Automation of crop/plant watering system, pesticide spraying system, fertilizer system, are few.
[0004] Similarly, several prior art disclosures have ascertained computer-based algorithms based on several mitigation techniques for predicting the market price to give the best Return on Investment (ROI) to the farmer.
[0005] Articles in the prior art have proved that plant/crop growth can be manipulated by altering the water levels, humidity, moisture, temperature, light intensity from grow light.
[0006] If properly designed and fabricated the artificial intelligence-based market prediction system with a plant growth altering system, then the farmer can sell the plant/crop at the maximum Return on Investment (ROI).
[0007] Fredrick Awuor et al. (2013) have emphasized The development of ICT in various domains has driven substantial interest in rising investments by private sectors towards the growth of ICT in Agricultural research. Xiangyu Hu et al. (2011)developed the IoT application, which embedded IOT-Radio Frequency identification, GPS, and smart sensors used to transfer information from the field. The information was recorded using RFID, and sensors are used to monitor the field. Richard K (2014) developed a system with IoT, and Cloud Computing emphasizes reliable architectures to provide farmers with timely information from the field over 3G or WiFi.
[0008] CN106228325A discloses an invention which is an agricultural product supply chain management system based on the internet of things. However, this invention fails to disclose that only WiFi communication can be enabled and only related to monitoring the supply chain monitor of the agricultural product.
[0009] US7085777B2 discloses a method and a system for tracing the identity of an agricultural product. The system uses tracing software, and the information is sent to the local cloud server through wireless communication. To operate this system, it requires a skilled person.
[0010] CN104166924A discloses an invention in which the agricultural product electronic transaction management system, where the system consists of a peer to peer communication, and the information obtained is transmitted to store in the cloud server.
[0011] An prior art document, US20120005105A1, discloses an invention is a method through for supply chain management using mobile devices with the local database cloud server. The system uses a digital signature to access the data stored in the cloud server.
[0012] Another prior art document by J. Elizabeth et al., has testified that in Soybean plantation, grown in controlled environment cabinets under light intensities of 220 w/m2 or 90 w/m2 (400-700 nm) and day to night temperatures of 27.5-22.5 C or 20.0-12.5 C in all combinations, exhibited differences in growth rate, leaf anatomy, chloroplast ultrastructure, and leaf starch, chlorophyll, and chloroplast lipid contents.
[0013] Another prior art document by N. Yan et al., in their findings named Interactive effects of temperature and light intensity on photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity in Zizania latifolia Turcz. Plants have disclosed that The results indicated that greenhouse-grown plants (GGP) had significantly higher plant height, leaf length, and leaf width, but lower leaf thickness and total shoot mass per cluster compared with field-grown plants (FGP).
[0014] Referring to another document, Constraints by water stress on plant growth presented by FI Pugnaire el at, discussed that water is among the most limiting factors for plant productivity and growth rates are proportional to water availability. Because of its essential role in plant metabolism, at both the cellular and whole-plant levels, any decrease in water availability imminently affects the growth rate of the plant.
[0015] Andrew Crane-Droesch in his document titled Machine learning methods for crop yield prediction and climate change impact assessment in agriculture has revealed and described an approach to yield modelling that uses a semiparametric variant of a deep neural network, which can simultaneously account for complex nonlinear relationships in high-dimensional datasets, as well as the known parametric structure and unobserved cross-sectional heterogeneity. Their predictive model approach is less pessimistic than others concerning the warmest regions and the warmest scenarios.
[0016] The present invention provides an Al-assisted agricultural device to assist the farmers in automation and supply chain management using the IoT platform.
[0017] The present invention addresses the shortcomings mentioned above of the prior art.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 1 is a diagram depicting a M L - B A S E D PLANT GROWTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM whose function is to monitor and control the plant growth through the plurality of remote moderator terminal RMT. These RMTs monitor the growth rate through camera 101c-5 and sense growth parameters through various sensors. Further, RMTs are responsible for controlling the plant growth parameters, especially temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, moisture, light, and water. All these parameters are carefully monitored and sent to Machine Learning based Moderator Terminal (CMT) 103 through a WiFi mesh network 102. The plurality of RMTs acts as a node in a mesh and works as transceivers. This indicates they act as access points (AP) and repeaters, thereby removing the dependency of the WiFi modem and extends the range of the WiFi for kilometres. The data received thus stored on to the in build store device 103e. This data is further sent to the user interface 106 GPRS 107 as data packets for further processing.
[0041] In accordance with a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present subject matter, FIG. 2 is a representation of sensor insertion and control unit placement. As depicted in the drawings of FIG 2, the plants are grown in a suitable pot and placed precisely under the grow light 201. As per the prior arts, there is a significant enhancement in plant growth if they are subjected to constant light intensity. The watering system 202 consists of water springing system 202a and controlled by plurality of water flow monitoring and controller valves 202b for creating the mist and raising the humidity of the environment. Further drip system 202c controlled by water flow monitoring and controller valves 202b to further assist the system in maintaining the moisture content in the soil. As per necessity to add nutrients to the water, an extra attachment NUTRIENT INFUSER 204 is connected to the watering system 202 through the valve 202b. The CO 2 Burner 203 is activated to aid the photosynthesis process in the plant.
[0042] Referring to FIG 3 is a diagram depicting the internal schema of a Remote Moderator Terminal RMT 101. The internal schema collaborated around an ESP32 microcontroller setup 101a, which consists of battery 101a-2 and LCD 101a-3 along with ESP32 chip 101a. The RMT further consists of Relay group 101b and sensor group 101c. Six relays deployed to control the Lights, CO 2 Burner, watering system. Sensors group 101c consists of comprising Humidity/Temperature sensor 1Oc-1, soil-moisture sensor 101c-2, Light-intensity sensor lOc-3, CO2 Sensor 1Oc-4 and camera 101c5. The ESP32 microcontroller can display the sensor values on the LCD Display 101a-3 and sends the data to CMT 103 through mesh network 102. This sensor data encompasses RMT unique ID and time stamping. Further, all RMTs use in-build WiFi functionality of ESP32 101a-lwhich allows them to acts as transceivers, thereby removes the necessity of WiFi Modems. Any RMT can act as a bridge between individual RMTs 101 to CMT 103.
[0043] Referring to FIG. 4 is a diagram 103 depicting a system for Central Moderator Terminal (CMT) 103, which bridges the connection between RMTs 101 and user interface. RMTs 101 can connect to CMT 103 with no dependency on the internet and WiFi routers. The CMT 103 has an onboard LoRa based ESP32 103a, an OLED display103d, 2.4GHz antenna, onboard SD Card Holder 103e, ceramic antenna for GSM signal trans receiver 103f, LiPo battery, and GSM700 module 103b. Initially, ESP32 103a receives data through antenna 103c transmitted by RMTs 101. The sensor data then send to OLED display along with time and ID of RMTs and as well as User interface. The transmission of data from CMT 103 takes place in the form of GPRS data packets forming internet connectivity 107. The sensor data is then stored to SD memory card 103e.
[0044] In accordance with a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present subject matter, FIG. 5 is a flow chart 104-a depicting the process in CMT for predicting the market demand according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which starts with the step 501 where past and present price of the plant/crop is collected and stored. Later in step 502, data of plant/crop growth rate, factors effecting, and yield are accumulated and stored. During step 503, monsoon and other historical climate data are retrieved from the metrological department IMD and stored. In the proceeding step 504, Using Machine learning algorithm MLA-1 predict present growth rate, which gives data pertain to present plant growth and estimated harvest date. The date of seeding the crop/plant is fed as input during step 505. Once the data stored, the next step proceeds to 506, where data is cleansed and classified with respect to time stampings and grouped into their respective domains, which are type of plant and its properties, market price history, weather conditions and present and predicted plant growth rate. The data is formatted and fed to the trained Machine learning module. During step 507, Relevant MLA forecast demand of the crop/plant at harvest time, and visualizes the data and also best date at which crop has to be harvested. Also, forecast analyses the data and generates the forecast with respect to demand of the crop/plant visualizes the data and also the best date at which crop has to be harvested during step 508. This process completes once the data generated is transmitted to the user interface 106 for further process.
[0045] According to a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG.6 is a representation 104-b depicting the process for measuring plant/crop growth rate according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method 104-b starts with step 601, where the camera 101c-5 Captures the live images and fed relevant machine learning algorithm. Images from seeding to presiding and present are compared with respect to height and width of the plant/crop in step 602 to get information in step 603. In this step, a precise comparison results in determining the exact plant/crop growth rate. This process gives the exact date at which the plant/crop becomes harvestable to yield maximum benefit to farmers. The proceeding step 604 estimation of harvest time based on the present growth rate is done. The same data is stored and made available for usage by other modules and transmitted to the user interface 106.
[0046] According to a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG.8 is a flow chart 108 depicting the process of execution of commands, also called as routine in the RMTs according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The RMTs routine is updated by CMT 103 as per the required growth rate. FIG 8 illustrates a routine adopted for increasing the growth rate of the plant/ crop for meeting the enhanced harvest date. The process starts at 801where the selection of routine is carried out in the CMT, which is based on the days required to harvest. In this step, it verifies Number of Days received is less than usual plant /crop growth. Proceeding step 802 Calculate the percentage of growth required. To meet this new growth rate, RMTs start to Increase the humidity, light intensity, Water quantity, CO 2 and maintain the temperature best situated
for that plant/crop growth, which equivalent to the percentage of growth required, which is carried out in step 803. The following step 804 initiates the camera 1Oc-5, which takes pictures of plant/crop and compares to calculate the present growth rate over two days. This comparison is fed to the next step 805, where a case scenario of increased growth rate. If the growth rate is more than required, then calculate the percentage of growth to be decreased. This percentage of growth rate to be decreased fed to RMTs microcontroller 101al. Step 806 initiate the process by decrease the temperature, humidity, light intensity, Water quantity, CO2 equivalent to the percentage of growth required. This routine carries on in a loop until the harvest is completed.
[0047] In an embodiment, the plant/ crop growth parameters controlled by the RMTs 101, whereas the growth rate, which is to be maintained by the RMTs, is updated periodically by CMT103 through WiFi Mesh Network 102. The growth rate, which is to be maintained, is communicated through the GPRS communication 107 established by the CMT 103. The data can be displayed on the user interface, which might be a mobile, PC/Laptop, or WiFi-enabled devices.
[0048] In an embodiment, the CO 2 burner 203, when activated, releases the carbon dioxide into the plant/crop space to assist the photosynthesis process, and the amount of CO 2 to be released is based on the routine which is being executed in RMTs. The growth rate drastically increase when CO 2 content is predominantly high. The levels are monitored by CO2 sensor 101c-4.
[0049] In an embodiment, grow lights 201 deployed over the plant/crop with a variable light intensity device. RMT monitors the light intensity through light intensity sensor 101c-3 and gives the command to vary it to the variable light intensity device. This device varies the intensity of the light by decreasing the power input to it. It was learned earlier from the prior art that light intensity variation affects plant growth.
[0050] In an embodiment, water sprinkling is accomplished through sprinklers 202a. Water is controlled in these sprinklers by control valves 202b. The valves 202b have a composition of the flow monitoring system and solenoid to obstruct the water flow. To increase the humidity, RMTs open the valves 202b and measure the water flow and record the humidity through humidity sensor 101c-1. The sprinkler system 202a not only increase the humidity but also decreases the ambient temperature around the plant/crop. It was learned earlier from the prior art that the misting process decreases the pests and increase the humidity. And also, the temperature variation affects the growth rate, and hence, the misting process also helps the temperature to be in control.
[0051] In an embodiment, soil moisture is monitored with the help of moisture sensor 101c-2. The RMT monitors the value and controls the valve 202b, which helps in distributing the water to plant/crop through drip points 202c. Further to this watering system, if the farmer wants to add fertilizer/nutrients/ amino acts to the water, then NUTRIENT INFUSER 204 allows the contents in it to be added to water flow through the mixer unit available in valve 202b. Based on the routine, RMT controls the valves to vary the water, nutrient and to mist. All these parameters help the plant grow faster, and if a decrease is there, then the growth rate become normal.

Acquire the price tag of the desired plant/crop from e-NAM and 501 rythubazar web portals.
502 Acquire the plant/crop growth properties from NIPHM 2020103563
503 Acquire the weather conditions form the portal mausam.imd.gov.in of India Meteorological Department
504 Using Machine learning algorithm MLA-1 predict present growth rate.
505 Collect the date of seeding the plant/crop
Prepare a dataset for use with relevant MLA and feed the data 506 With Trained machine learning model.
507 Relevant MLA forecast demand of the crop/plant at harvest time, and visualizes the data and also best date at which crop has to be harvested
508 The data is presented to RMTs and other user interfaces
FIG 5
104-a Process carried out in CMT for predicting Market Demand
Acquire the image of the plant/crop 601 2020103563
Compare the acquired image with previous image. Image 602 comparison will be based on date after the seeding and preceding date Relevant MLA with image recognition model predicts the growth 603 rate
604 Estimates harvest date based on the predicted rate growth.
605 Send the data to user interface 106 and store the data for utilization by other process.
FIG 6
104-b Process for predicting plant growth rate (MLA1)
Acquire the no of days to harvest from the step 605 701
Decide the routine/classification to be loaded in to RMT based on 702 the days acquired (Routine may be for increase or decrease the critical levels of plant/crop growth factors ) 703 Based on date classification set the limits for, Grow Light 2020103563
intensity, CO2 Levels, Water, Humidity & fertilizer Mixer level
Verify The routine is updated in every RMT and they will follow 704 the classification and collect the data.
Send data to CMT by RMTs through WiFi mesh network and 705 stores the data on local storage.
706 For every two hours the CMT collects the data and sends it to user.
