A Review on GSM-based Smart Irrigation System using Moisture Sensor

Abstract

The aim of the implementation was to demonstrate that the automatic irrigation can be used to reduce water use. The implementation is a powered automated irrigation system that consists of a distributed wireless network of soil moisture and temperature sensors deployed in plant root zones. Each sensor node involved a soil-moisture probe, a temperature probe, a micro controller for data acquisition, and transceiver; these are sure mindshare transmitted to a microcontroller-based receiver. Because of its energy autonomy and low cost, the system has potential use for organic crops, which are mainly located in geographically isolated areas where the energy grid is far away.
