USING IoT FOR SEED PRESERVATION

| Dariu-Admin |

In agriculture, seed preservation plays a vital role in ensuring optimal plant growth and maximizing yields. Vietnam’s hot and humid climate poses significant challenges when it comes to storing seeds. In response to this issue, we propose a smart cabinet that is able to control air quality, humidity, temperature, prevent mold and unintended germination. This project aims to simplify seed preservation for farmers, using the internet of things: data is collected, processed and updated to https://www.adafruit.com via micro:bit.

How does it work?
UV light runs for 10 minutes daily to disinfect and prevent harmful bacteria and mold while fans adjust air circulation based on temperature sensors installed inside the cabinet. A dehumidifier activates when humidity is low and temperature and humidity data is regularly updated via an app on a tablet. Alerts are sent to users via the Telegram account if conditions exceed standard levels.
