Seeds are essential for human society as a food source and serve as starting material for crops. The yield of crops is not only highly dependent on environmental factors but also on the quality of the seed. Therefore, assessment of seed germination is an essential task for seed researchers to measure the performance of different seed lots in order to improve the efficiency of food chains. The main aim of the project is to design a jetson nano based seed germination system. We propose a low-power sensing system with jetson nano board with a special focus on the application in agriculture. The proposed solution is able to perform the seeds germination detection through USB camera. This system consists of Ethernet which uses to capture the images of seeds in every 5minuts and sending captured image into the mail. This system consists of soil moisture sensor which uses to detect the moisture content in soil and based on that it will l switching ON/OFF the water motor automatically. DHT11 sensor is uses to detect the both temperature and humidity. Here relays work as switch to ON/OFF the water motor and light. The status of the project will display on LCD module. The coding for this whole system is in python.

Features:

• Design an agriculture application for seed germination.
• Soil moisture based Automatic switching of water pump.
• Monitoring temperature and humidity on LCD module.
• Seed germination detection using USB camera.
• This system capable of sending the Mail in every 5 minutes.
