AB  - Soil properties, its features and types are important information for plantation, farming, gardening and
any agricultural sectors. Different plants and species requires different soil properties to grow well. Even the
same plant might require different soil properties at its different age. The conventional methods of inspecting
the soil properties are either taking the soil sample to the lab or bring the measurement device to the site to take
the reading. Both methods are time consuming and rather expensive process. This study presents a real-time
and remote monitoring of soil features which is essential and very useful for immediate and easy access to the
soil information. In this study, readings of the soil condition from sensors could be viewed pervasively, anytime
and anywhere, through a mobile application using any handheld device. Among the variables that are measured
by the system are soil moisture, temperature and humidity. The system provides real-time data reading and will
save it to the database for historical data. The system analyse the data and suggest the suitable plantation for
the respective soil properties. The users will also be provided with tips and suggestions to suit their plant’s
needs.
