Microcontroller-based Irrigation System

Abstract

In the recent era, the developments in the agriculture fields are the buzzword in the market. The projected system uses sensors to observe the soil wetness content that depends on the valves of the system which might get turned ON/OFF mechanically. Soil moisture senses the condition of the humidity and will send the same information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller takes action counting on this sensing element information. The same information is provided to Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) which sends this signal to users mobile as SMS (Short Message Service). The irrigation systems are often wide employed in agricultural lands, industrial automation, home gardens, and meteorological observation post. This can be helpful in the development of agriculture field.

Keywords: automatic watering system, Arduino board, sensors, relay, motor, GSM module
