Abstract

An automatic irrigation system is to be designed which switches the motor ON/OFF on sensing the moisture content, temperature and pH of the soil. Due to global warming and many climate changes, nowadays there is no fixed time of rain and the amount of rain so there is a great chance of the crops getting destroyed. Less rain leads to under irrigation and excessive rain leads to over irrigation and both these would result in yield reduction. In this paper we introduce a system which can control the irrigation according to the need. The advantage of using this method is to reduce human intervention and ensure proper irrigation. The system is powered by a renewable source of energy i.e. SOLAR ENERGY. This system is connected to the user by IOT (Internet of Things) and user can check the status and control the system from the android mobile phone. There is also a LCD which displays the moisture, temperature and the pH of the soil.
