Project Soil is focused on developing a low-cost soil and weather analytics device to assist planters and farmers in growing vegetation. The device relays temperature, sun availability, soil moisture, pH, and other important information, allowing planters to make the appropriate decisions to maximize vegetation growth. The device further enables farmers to use an appropriate amount of fertilizer to prevent the entrance of excess nutrients into bodies of water, which may be potentially harmful to the surrounding biological ecosystem.

TechUPArmenia will be releasing more information on how the device was built and instructions to build the device yourself soon. Stay tuned.
