1. INTRODUCTION

Dryingistheoneofthemethodstoremovemoisturefrom the agri products and preserve the food at longer period in agriculture sector drying is one of the best methods from many years Drying from the sunlight is the oldest technique of the moisture removal from the grains. Electricity is also used for the dehydration it is the latest technique for dehydrating the grains, Grains contain dry always as moisture at the time of the harvesting, and the grains Moisture content is at higher level Than the safe shortterm orlong termstorageand alsoforgo tomarket and sell it Electrical technology is a technology that is rapidlygainingacceptanceasanenergysavingmeasurein agriculture application. applications requiring low to moderate temperature below 80°C, such as crop drying It ispreferredtootheralternativesourcesofenergysuchas wind and shale, because it isabundant,inexhaustible,and non polluting. Electrical air heaters are simple devices to heat air by utilizing solar energy and it is employed in manyandspaceheating.

Weare developingIoTbasedfooddehydrationsystem for Grains. In which Hardware components required for constructionareNodeMCU,DHT11Sensor,MQ4

Sensor, Display, Switches, Indicator bulbs, connecting Wires, Fan, Heater etc. And software used are blynk app, Proteus and Arduino IDE. This is the IoT based project so we can control this system blynk app. The agriculture application of this project is to remove the moisture from

the agriculture products at proper proportion it may helpful the farmers to get the best money for their hard work for agriculture products like Maize, Soybean, etc. in themarket.

TheIOTBasedseasonabledehydrationsystemisworkson electric supply and maintaining the temperature with the helpofthetemperaturecontrollerthesystemincludestwo units 1st unit consists three fans which circulates or transfer the atmospheric air to the system and passes the air above it also include heating coil this heating coil Whichtemperaturegoes up to100oCand with thehelp of the coil the forced air is heated and go to the system the 2nd unit includes two tray having pours for proper air circulation

3. LETERATURE SURVEY

The newer scenario of decreasing water tables, drying up of rivers and tanks, unpredictable environment presents an urgent need of proper utilization of water. To cope up with this use of temperature and moisture sensor at suitable locations for monitoring of crops is implemented in. An algorithm developed with threshold values of temperature and soil moisture can be programmed into a microcontroller based gateway to control water quantity. The system can be powered by photovoltaic panels and canhave a duplex communicationlink based ona cellular Internet interface that allows data inspection and irrigation scheduling to be programmed through a web page. The technological development in Wireless Sensor Networks made it possible to use in monitoring and control of greenhouse parameter in precision agriculture. After the research in the agricultural field, researchers foundthattheyieldofagricultureisdecreasingdaybyday. However,useoftechnologyinthefieldofagricultureplays important role in increasing the production as well as in reducing the extra man power efforts. Some of the research attempts are done for betterment of farmers which provides the systems that use technologies helpful forincreasingtheagriculturalyield.Aremotesensingand controlirrigationsystemusingdistributedwirelesssensor network aiming for variable rate irrigation, real time in field sensing, controlling of a site specific precision linear move irrigation system to maximize the productivity with minimaluseofwaterwasdevelopedbyY.Kim.Thesystem describeddetailsabout the designandinstrumentation of

variable rate irrigation, wireless sensor network and real time in field sensing and control by using appropriate software. The whole system was developed using five in fieldsensorstationswhichcollectsthedata andsenditto the base station using global positioning system (GPS) where necessary action was taken for controlling irrigation according to the database available with the system. The system provides a promising low cost wireless solution as well as remote controlling for precision irrigation. In the studies related to wireless sensor network, researchers measured soil related parameters such as temperature and humidity. Sensors wereplacedbelowthesoilwhichcommunicateswithrelay nodes by the use of effective communication protocol providingverylowdutycycleandhenceincreasingthelife timeofsoilmonitoringsystem.Thesystemwasdeveloped using microcontroller, universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) interface and sensors while the transmission was done by hourly sampling and buffering the data, transmit it and then checking the status messages. The drawbacks of the system were its cost and deployment of sensor under the soil which causes attenuationofradiofrequency(RF)signals.

Temperature controller is used in the system for controls the temperature among the system and avoid spoilage of thegrainstemperaturecontrollerissimpledevicewhichis takes output from the temperature sensor and regulates the system temperature as per requirement. We have to set a setpoint in the controller if the setpoint reached by the system and detected by the temperature sensor the system gets turn off by the controller and when again temperature goes below than the setpoint temperature systemturn onagain by the controller. The main function of the controller is to maintain required temperature in thesystem.
