Maintaining a good irrigation system is a necessity in today’s water scarcity environment. This paper describes a new approach for automated Smart Irrigation (SIR) system in agricultural management. Using
various types of sensors in the crop field area, temperature and moisture value of the soil is monitored.Based on the sensed data, SIR will automatically decide about the necessary action for irrigation and also notifies the user. The system will also focus on the reduction of energy consumption by the sensors during communication.
Despite the perception people may have regarding the agricultural process, the reality is that today’s agriculture
industry is data-centered, precise, and smarter than ever. The rapid emergence of the Internet-of-Things (IoT)
based technologies redesigned almost every industry including ‘‘smart agriculture’’ which moved the industry
from statistical to quantitative approaches. Such revolutionary changes are shaking the existing agriculture
methods and creating new opportunities along a range of challenges. This article highlights the potential of
wireless sensors and IoT in agriculture, as well as the challenges expected to be faced when integrating this
technology with the traditional farming practices. IoT devices and communication techniques associated with
wireless sensors encountered in agriculture applications are analyzed in detail. What sensors are available for
specific agriculture application, like soil preparation, crop status, irrigation, insect and pest detection are
listed.For the sake of obtaining the interest data, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used to collect the
interest data in the farm field and send the obtained data to the servers via wireless communication. Since the
WSNs usually operate in the unlicensed spectrum ,the available resource elements (REs) are scarce especially

Real Time Monitoring of Self Propelled Center Pivot Irrigation System using M...ijtsrd
Agriculture is very important in everyday day life. Without agriculture we cannot satisfy our daily needs such as food. The process of developing the agriculture is very difficult as it depends on season, rainfall, water, soil, humidity etc. Rainfall is the important factor among this. Due to the changes of the season the rainfall is not constant, due to the lack of rainfall the farming land becomes dry and the irrigation of crops is very difficult for the farmers. This is the major problem in the agriculture. To overcome this in olden days the farmers used variety of irrigation systems for better crop production. Irrigation is nothing but watering the crops in cultivating land. The irrigations such as drip irrigation, springler irrigation, surface, subsurface irrigation are commonly used in many countries. These irrigation can perform a different characteristics and functions for a better crop production. Drip irrigation method was used in Israel by using the tubes and pipes. The springler irrigation method was used in Australia. These two irrigation system are now commonly used in India. In this irrigation the drop of water is send to crops but the water is insufficient and crops does not grow faster. Here we propose a new method of irrigation called center pivot irrigation system. The system is constructed in the center of farmland. It consists of sprinkler at the top and it sprinkles the water uniformly to all the crops. The crops get enough water and yield in a good manner. By using this method there is no water loss. M. Anusudha | B. Banupriya | A. Godhawari | Mr. J.

Wireless sensor network for monitoring irrigation using XBee Pro S2CjournalBEEI
Monitoring irrigation is still the problem of agriculture in Indonesia. During the dry season, the farming fields drought while in the rainy season, floods happened. Since the farm-fields located far from the urban area, it requires an automatic tool for monitoring the availability of water that can help the farmer to monitor the farm-field. Wireless sensor network is an appropriate technology used to overcome problems related to the monitoring system. This research is using a water level sensor, pump, Arduino Nano, and XBee Pro S2C in each monitoring node. The system designed within two modules, an automation irrigation module and a monitoring module, which is connected with the communication configuration of master-slaves between Xbee Pro S2C at each node. The system examined several scenarios in order to test the performance. Based on the testing result, all the performance parameters can be adequately delivered to the user and appropriated with the real condition in the farm field. The delay between nodes only takes 5-10 seconds.
Garden Environmental Monitoring & Automatic Control System Using SensorsIJMTST Journal
Many people have gardens in their homes. But due to their busy schedule they don’t have time to take care of
the garden. The automated garden control system achieves monitoring and control of a garden environment
by using sensors and the controller of a microcontroller running a computer program. The WSN is the recent
emerging technology in the various filed. So that by using the WSN concept we can make this paper more
reliable. The various sensors senses the garden environmental factors , microcontroller process those data
and by using ZBee protocol the data can be transmit to remote locations and demodulated by the another
Zbee, which then passes the information to the serial port. The approach of creating a GUI requires no coding
by the user and the information is still presented in a visually appealing format. The aim of our paper is to
minimize this manual intervention by the workers. Automated garden system will serve the following
purposes: 1) As there is no un-planned usage of water, a lot of water is saved from being wasted. 2) The
irrigation is the only when there is not enough moisture in the soil and the sensors decides when the motor
should be turned on/off, saves a lot time for the works. This also gives much needed rest to the workers, as
they don’t have to go and turn the motor on/off manually.
The developments in the agricultural field are the buzzword in the market. In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of irrigation is important and it is well known that irrigation by drip is very economical and efficient. In the conventional drip irrigation system, the farmer has to keep watch on irrigation timetable, which is different for different crops and it is very difficult. This paper mainly focuses on designing of an accurate & cost effective Global System for Mobile (GSM) Based Automatic Drip Irrigation System using micro-controller. In order to fulfill these objectives we have used relay and solenoid valve along with a 16×2 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that can be connected to the microcontroller, which will displays the soil moisture level and ambient temperature. The developed irrigation method removes the need for workmanship for flooding irrigation. Efficient water management plays an important role in the irrigated agricultural cropping systems. Time based control mechanism; volume based control mechanism and priority based mechanism can be designed in one system.

The World Wide Web is booming and radically vibrant due to the well established standards and widely accountable framework which guarantees the interoperability at various levels of the application and the society as a whole. So far, the web has been functioning at the random rate on the basis of the human intervention and some manual processing but the next generation web which the researchers called semantic web, edging for automatic processing and machine-level understanding. The well set notion, Semantic Web would be turn possible if only there exists the further levels of interoperability prevails among the applications and networks. In achieving this interoperability and greater functionality among the applications, the W3C standardization has already released the well defined standards such as RDF/RDF Schema and OWL. Using XML as a tool for semantic interoperability has not achieved anything effective and failed to bring the interconnection at the larger level. This leads to the further inclusion of inference layer at the top of the web architecture and its paves the way for proposing the common design for encoding the ontology representation languages in the data models such as RDF/RDFS. In this research article, we have given the clear implication of semantic web research roots and its ontological background process which may help to augment the sheer understanding of named entities in the web.

attacks. The injecting false data attack not only consumes unnecessary energy in en-route nodes, but also
causes false alarms at the base station. To detect this type of attack, a bandwidth-efficient cooperative
authentication (BECAN) scheme was proposed to achieve high filtering probability and high reliability
based on random graph characteristics and cooperative bit-compressed authentication techniques. This
scheme may waste energy resources in en-route nodes due to the fixed number of forwarding reports. In
this paper, our proposed method effectively selects a dynamic number of forwarding reports in the source
nodes based on an evaluation function. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method
enhances the energy savings while maintaining security levels as compared to BECAN.
Artificial neural networks (ANN) consider classification as one of the most dynamic research and
application areas. ANN is the branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The neural network was trained by
back propagation algorithm. The different combinations of functions and its effect while using ANN as a
classifier is studied and the correctness of these functions are analyzed for various kinds of datasets. The
back propagation neural network (BPNN) can be used as a highly successful tool for dataset classification
with suitable combination of training, learning and transfer functions. When the maximum likelihood
method was compared with backpropagation neural network method, the BPNN was more accurate than
maximum likelihood method. A high predictive ability with stable and well functioning BPNN is possible.
Multilayer feed-forward neural network algorithm is also used for classification. However BPNN proves to
be more effective than other classification algorithms.
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are regularly deployed in harsh and unattended environments, and
sensor nodes are easily exposed to attacks due to the random arrangement of the sensor field. An attacker
can inject fabricated reports from a compromised node with false votes and false vote-based reports. The
false report attacks can waste the energy of the intermediate nodes, shortening the network lifetime.
Furthermore, false votes cause the filtering out of legitimate reports. A probabilistic voting-based filtering
scheme (PVFS) was proposed as a countermeasure against this type of attacks by Li and Wu. PVFS uses a
vote threshold, a security threshold, and a verification node. The scheme does not make additional use
energy or communications resources because the verification node and threshold values are fixed. There
needs to be a verification node selection method that considers the energy resources of the node. In this
paper, we propose a verification path election scheme based on a fuzzy logic system. In the proposed
scheme, one node transmits reports in the node with a strong state through a fuzzy logic system after which
a neighbor is selected out of two from the surroundings. Experimental results show that the proposed
scheme improves energy savings up to maximum 13% relative to the PVFS.
In this paper a novel intelligent soft computing based cryptographic technique based on synchronization of
two chaotic systems (CSCT) between sender and receiver has been proposed to generate session key using
Pecora and Caroll (PC) method. Chaotic system has some unique features like sensitive to initial
conditions, topologically mixing; and dense periodic orbits. By nature, the Lorenz system is very sensitive
to initial conditions meaning that the error between attacker and receiver is going to grow exponentially if
there is a very slight difference between their initial conditions. All these features make chaotic system as
good alternatives for session key generation. In the proposed CSCT few parameters ( , b , r , x1 ,y2 and z2 )
are being exchanged between sender and receiver. Some of the parameter which takes major roles to form
the session key does not get transmitted via public channel, sender keeps these parameters secret. This way
of handling parameter passing mechanism prevents any kind of attacks during exchange of parameters like
sniffing, spoofing or phishing.
A black-hole attack in the Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is an attack occurs due to malicious nodes,
which attracts the data packets by falsely advertising a fresh route to the destination. In this paper, we
present a clustering approach in Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for the
detection and prevention of black-hole attack in MANETs. In this approach every member of the cluster will
ping once to the cluster head, to detect the peculiar difference between the number of data packets received
and forwarded by the node. If anomalousness is perceived, all the nodes will obscure the malicious nodes
from the network.

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

ABSTRACT
Maintaining a good irrigation system is a necessity in today’s water scarcity environment. This paper
describes a new approach for automated Smart Irrigation (SIR) system in agricultural management. Using
various types of sensors in the crop field area, temperature and moisture value of the soil is monitored.
Based on the sensed data, SIR will automatically decide about the necessary action for irrigation and also
notifies the user. The system will also focus on the reduction of energy consumption by the sensors during
communication.

Smart Irrigation, Intelligent Irrigation, Precision Agriculture
1. INTRODUCTION
The development in smart environmental technology and the application of Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs) creates a new way of research in the field of agriculture. Now-a day sensor
technologies are very much helpful in creating the smart précised environment. Using this
technique, the WSN deployments for various farming applications in the Indian as well as global
scenario are surveyed. Also the possibility of using this technique for the crop growth starting
from its cultivation to harvesting is analyzed. In this way, various parameters needed for
particular crop maintenance is focused and the problems for improvement and future
development are considered.
Agriculture plays a vital role in the development of country’s economy. The daily need for food
shows the importance of agricultural development. Growing a particular crop in a particular
region takes the privilege of monitoring the growth from cultivation till harvesting. One of the
main challenges in agricultural activities is irrigation. As the global climate decreases the source
of water throughout the world, it is necessary to take steps for preserving it. However traditional
irrigation management is done by the people itself. It requires the presence and continuous
monitoring of irrigation by the farmers in the field area. The user must need to manually change
the direction of water flow using large pipes in the field. It creates a need for more labour work
and maintenance. A little advancement in traditional system involves in establishing centralized
control of irrigated land [3] using wired architecture which will also leads to more cost and
maintenance manually. Hence a new system SIR which makes the irrigation system fully
automated with the development of Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks (WSAN) is developed.

In India, the method of cultivation of paddy in a particular region depends largely on factors such
as situation of land, type of soils, irrigation facilities and availability of moisture level and
distribution of rainfalls. Paddy fields are the typical feature of rice farming
in east, south and southeast Asia. Paddy crops can be built into steep hillsides and adjacent to
depressed or steeply sloped features such as rivers or marshes. They can require a great deal
of labour and materials to create, and need large quantities of water for irrigation. Oxen and water
buffalo, adapted for life in wetlands, are important working animals used extensively in paddy
field farming.
The agriculture systems in developing countries are still labour dependent and do not use any
crop management, pest/disease control or quality management systems. The traditional irrigation
systems in agriculture use uniform water distribution in fields at regular intervals, which is not
optimal. Hence, a technology based agricultural monitoring system which decides itself
intelligently and performing the action is needed.
In this paper, for developing a smart thinking irrigation system, various WSN applications and
intelligent technique is reviewed. To focus on the specific requirements, the devices, sensors and
communication techniques associated with WSNs in agricultural applications are analyzed
comprehensively. We present various related work to thoroughly explore the existing solutions
proposed in the literature in various categories according to their design and implementation
related parameters.
1.1. Paper organization
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes about various techniques and
methods used for irrigating the field area and the issues faced by it. Design of a SIR system for
sprinkler irrigation method in agricultural application is discussed in Section 3. Discussion about
various parameters which needed to be processed in future is given in Section 4. And finally, the
paper concludes in Section 5.
2. RELATED WORK
In the process of developing an automated wirelessly monitored irrigation system, several
methods were followed.
2.1. Remote Monitoring using GSM
The subscriber or user sends activation command to the system via SMS. The system [1] will
check the moisture level and if it is less than the prescribed level, the system will start the motor.
While the motor is running, the system will monitor the soil moisture and water level constantly.
If the moisture level reaches the sufficient level, the motor will be turned off. The corresponding
event of the operation of motor is notified to the user using SMS. This motor is controlled by a
starter which is indirectly activated by a relay circuit. Using GSM technique, an automated
remote monitored irrigation system is provided. The system sets the time period depending on the
temperature and humidity of the soil for irrigating the land. The humidity and temperature level
of the soil and the crop varies for various types of crops.
2.2. Monitoring using fuzzy controller
The system [2] consists of two units, WSN and a monitoring center. Nodes in the monitoring
area collect information of the soil moisture and growth information of different crops in different

periods using solar power. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) contains many sensor nodes and
controller nodes. The data sensed from the WSN is given as inputs to the monitoring center which
in turn gives the information about the irrigation, demand of the water level and control over the
opening or closing of the valves. Zigbee network in a mesh network topology is used to meet the
network coverage and reduce the energy consumption and the cost. Some of the nodes are
assigned as routers and coordinators. Sensor nodes sense the temperature and humidity whereas
the routing nodes route the communication information and forwarding the data to the relevant
nodes and the coordinator node receives data from the routing nodes and sent it to host computer
monitoring center through RS232 serial bus. The monitoring center record the real time moisture
value form all the nodes and calculate crop irrigation water requirement and output the result to
WSN and control to the valves. The soil moisture sensor TDR-3A is used for measuring the
moisture value.
2.3. Monitoring using humidity sensors
For measuring the humidity value of a region, SY-HS-220 humidity sensor [5] is used. It works
on the operating temperature range of 0 – 60o C. Temperature value is sensed by the sensor
LM35IC in which the output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature. TinyOS
[9] is an open source component based low power operating system which is designed only for
embedded system application. TinyOS based IRIS motes is used to measure the moisture level of
paddy field and MD100CB sensor motes are used to reduce the number of motes used. A low cost
soil moisture sensor [6] is used to control water supply in water deficient areas. The sensor
communicates the information via XBEE wireless communication module to a centralized server.
The server provides the control to the water supply and displays the moisture data in a more user
friendly interface. Two galvanized metallic electrodes are kept at a distance of 30mm inside the
soil area in an acrylic sheet. The change of impedance between two galvanized metallic
electrodes due to the varying moisture content in the surrounding medium is measured. Based on
all these measurement, the data is transferred to the server for processing.
2.4. Monitoring in drip irrigation
In order to achieve the effective usage of water in drip irrigation [10, 7], sensors are scattered
throughout the field region. Sensors are used to sense the water level in the well as well as in the
water tank. If the measured value is less than the prescribed value, then alert is given to the user.
If the level of the water in the tank is low, then it directs the command to the nearby well. The
pump is activated thereby the valve is opened and the water is pumped out to the well. Sensors in
the field sensed the value of temperature and moisture in the field and based on the input value,
the system decides either to open the valve or not.
2.5. Remote Monitoring using sensors
In the irrigation monitoring system [11,12], the information regarding soil moisture, temperature
etc are sensed by the Bluetooth wireless transmitters and the time specific decision for irrigation
is made according to the information sensed. The irrigation control unit gets the decision and
sends the position of the irrigation system using GPS receiver to the base station through real time
monitoring. Base station in turn sends control signals to the irrigation control station to operate
the device for water usage. Also distributed irrigation system [13], sensor based irrigation system
[14] and automated field-specific irrigation system [15] are also provided good irrigation control.
Yet, all these do not consider the pollution of water.

3. PROPOSED METHOD
The proposed method discusses about the idea of developing a Smart Irrigation (SIR) using
wireless sensors. The system also focuses on reducing the cost and energy consumption during
the process. The entire field is embedded with sensor nodes including soil moisture sensors,
humidity sensors, soil Ph sensor, controller node, solar panels, irrigation sprinkler and control
valves. The overall system will be activated for every 1 hour. As the timer triggers, the sensor
will sense the data and communicate it to the nearby controller node. The controller node acts as a
router and sends the data to the server. The controller node communicates the information once
all the information is ready thereby reducing the power consumption. Figure 1 will describe the
overview of SIR system functionalities.
Figure 1: Overview of SIR system
If the moisture value and the humidity value is less than the threshold prescribed then the system
will decide to open the valves. The valves in the pipe will open for only 3 seconds and then
automatically closed. As the entire system will be triggered for every 1 hour, it is more sufficient
for a plant to maintain the moisture required for it.
Also the water level sensor in the tank will monitor the water level inside the tank and if it is
lower than the necessary parameter, the system will start the motor to pump the water from the
well. For all the events, the information about the status of the water level, motor on/off, moisture
and temperature level is notified to the user via SMS. Since all the nodes are powered by solar
energy from the solar panel, the SIR system will reduce the energy supply problem also.
The following flowchart will define the detailed steps involved in the process of SIR system. The
system also focused on minimizing the cost for communication between sensors. It will also focus
to use the more reliable non duplicated communication to ensure the minimum power
consumption using sensors.

4. FUTURE RESEARCH
Agriculture is the process of producing strategic food and fibre in meeting of the fundamental
needs. This strategic value has many times been checked over throughout history with the
disputes between the nations and environmental limitations. Nowadays where impacts of the
global warming come about as the changes/unbalances in the climate conditions sustainability
and the increase of the agricultural production is only possible with the collection of more data
and analysing and using of them. Detection and the transmission of the data needed are possible
with the efficient use of the information technology. It is aimed to distribute the inputs such as
fertilisers and chemicals that the plants being grown on the farms need, despite the fact different
productivity is obtained in the different regions of the farm or the farms might have different soil
structures in the process of conventional agriculture, being integrally taken into account whatever
the size of the farm is.
However, the concept of “Sustainable Agricultural Production” that has been put forward aimed
at the protection of the environment and the natural resources for the last 15-20 years lays
emphasis on the use of these inputs in as less amount as possible and with as much care as
possible. In this context, variability in the agricultural production needs to be measured and the
inputs need to be applied considering the results. In order to succeed in this process called
precision agriculture reliable and continuous data is needed. These days, the environmental data
(Temperature, rainfall, humidity etc.), production data on the soil and the plant (Soil nutrition
elements, monitoring of the diseases and pests, irrigation). Moreover, it has also been shown that
our proposed irrigation model is adaptable for different conditions of weather, land and water.

5. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, a method for developing a smart environment to monitor the irrigational parameter
in the entire field is discussed. The system will also focuses on reducing the energy consumption
and the cost of communication. It provides a more user friendly way of doing agricultural
irrigation. Hence the overall system will pave a way for promoting agriculture in a more
automated way.
