Abstract

Agriculture has always played an important role in the economic development of a nation as well as the growth of crops and land cultivation. In order to maintain a steady growth of crops the resources should always be in abundant supply and within an appropriate amount without deteriorating the soil condition. Manual labor has always been the focal of the agricultural industry without taking into consideration the conditions of the soil. Indian agriculture is dependent on the monsoons which is not a reliable source of water. Therefore there is a need for an irrigation system in the country which can provide water to the farms according to their soil types. Automated systems present today have a design that includes a micro-controller system for processing the soil conditions and follows the principle of continuous water logging by using various sensors. This paper represents the prototype design of microcontroller based automatic irrigation system which will allow irrigation to take place in zones where watering is required, while bypassing zones where adequate soil moisture is indicated.
