- Abstract
In terms of overall output of oilseed crops worldwide, soybean makes up around 50%. It is capable of serving as the primary protein supplement to human meals, has tremendous nutritional value, and offers the highest supply of protein of any crop. In Bangladesh, the majority of the soybeans the nation produces, however, are utilized primarily in the feed industry, and any soybean oil on the market is imported. Farmers here mostly grow soybeans in the districts of Noakhali, Lakshmipur, and Bhola. Due to the lack of short-duration enhanced varieties and unfavorable agro climatic conditions, Bangladesh has less options to expand the area and productivity of soybean. In addition, the soybean crop is harmed by an excessive amount of weeds and numerous kinds of insects as well. In light of this, a ground sensor terminal (GST) based system with an omnidirectional antenna has been created to monitor the soybean production cycle. The system will be able to track the soil's moisture content and ambient temperature, and it will also be able to anticipate the main soil components that have a large impact on how much weed growth occurs. Furthermore, the device has a function that bothers insects, which will ultimately boost soybean yield. The system will send the information to the Kitsune satellite, where it will be stored and later forwarded to the user, who may then utilize it to obtain the needed information and correct the flaws.
