Smart Irrigation System in Agriculture

Abstract

Abstract The most difficult task in agriculture is watering the fields. The different types of watering system are drip system, nozzles type, tube method and sprinkler system. This paper focus about the drip system. The work specifies the moisture level sensing of the crops and supply the require water when needed. The components included in this work are ATmega 328 Microcontroller, GSM Module, Humidity sensor and soil moisture sensor. A prototype has been developed to protect the plants or crops more self sufficient from watering and sunlight. The model reports the status of current condition and also reminds the need of water through GSM module. The prototype model is a loop closed control system is designed to continuously monitor the humidity, temperature, soil moisture level and controlling the irrigation systems from the output of the pumping unit.
