CropGuardian-SoilMetrics-CSharp 1.0.1

CropGuardian-SoilMetrics-CSharp

NOTE: This is an updated release programmed in C# v12 and NET 8. This version offers greater flexibility than the F# version previously released. Due to the number of C# developers I've elected to add more functionality to this library upon initial release. I will be updating the F# version as time permits.

CropGuardian-SoilMetrics-CSharp -Version 1.0.1 is a .NET library designed to help farmers, agronomists, and developers analyze soil health, nutrient levels, and moisture data to provide actionable recommendations for soil fertilization. This library supports real-time IoT integration for live soil data collection and generates precise nutrient deficiency reports with fertilizer recommendations.

Features

• Nutrient Analysis: Analyze soil nutrient levels and provide recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and more.
• Fertilization Recommendations: Suggest fertilizer types and amounts based on the nutrient deficiencies detected in the soil.
• Soil Moisture Analysis: Provide recommendations based on soil moisture levels, helping optimize nutrient uptake.
• IoT Integration: Not Fully Implemented Yet.

Installation

The library is available as a NuGet package. You can install it via the NuGet Package Manager or the .NET CLI:

NuGet Package Manager

Install-Package CropGuardian-SoilMetrics-CSharp -Version 1.0.1

.NET CLI

dotnet add package CropGuardian-SoilMetrics-CSharp --version 1.0.1

Usage

After installing the package, you can use the library to analyze soil data and receive fertilization recommendations.

Example: Nutrient and Soil Moisture Analysis

using SoilHealth.Models;
using SoilHealth.Services;
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a mock provider for crop nutrient sufficiency (e.g., Corn at Tasselling stage)
        var cropProvider = new StaticCropProvider();
        
        // Simulated soil data (e.g., soil nutrient and moisture percentages)
        var soilDataService = new MockSoilDataService(new SoilNutrientData(2.0f, 0.3f, 1.5f, 0.5f, 0.3f, 0.2f, 80.0f, 60.0f, 8.0f, 25.0f, 20.0f, 35.0f));
        
        // Create the SoilAnalysisService
        var soilAnalysisService = new SoilAnalysisService(cropProvider, soilDataService);

        // Analyze soil for a given crop and growth stage
        var recommendations = soilAnalysisService.AnalyzeSoil("Corn", "Tasselling");

        // Display recommendations
        foreach (var recommendation in recommendations)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(recommendation);
        }
    }
}

Output Example:

Nitrogen (N) is low. Apply 1.08 kg/ha of Urea.
Phosphorus (P) is within the optimal range.
Soil moisture is within the optimal range (35%).
