Abstract

The main aim of this project is to identify the water availability condition to soil and to automatically control the water supply to land in order to prevent dry condition. The embedded technology is used to indicate status of soil. In agriculture field the soil should be maintain in proper condition. Thus it is done with the help of embedded technology using PIC micro controller. In this project a humidity sensor is used to sense the wet condition of the soil. The water level in the tank is sensed by using water level sensor. The sensed condition is given as input to PIC micro controller and based on condition a PIC will give signal to relay which drives the pump and to mobile phone which displays the condition of the soil. If sensed condition is found to dry “SOIL IS DRY” will get displayed in phone and simultaneously relay will turn on the pump in order to wet the soil. If the sensed condition is found to wet “SOIL IS WET” will be get displayed and signal to relay will be given in order to turn off the pump to stop availability of water to soil. The main advantage of this project is soil maintenance can be achieved effectively and water supply.
