This document summarizes a seminar presentation on an automatic irrigation system with remote monitoring and control. The system uses a microcontroller-based circuit to automate irrigation based on soil moisture sensors. It allows farmers to remotely control irrigation via a GSM modem and mobile phone. The system aims to save water, labor costs, and prevent crop destruction by automatically and remotely controlling irrigation only when needed. It is an inexpensive and reliable solution to help meet increasing food demands.

2. Introduction
 The continuous increasing in population of the world demands massive amount
of food which is a major cause of concern in coming future.
 To meet the need of huge food production there is an urgent need of rapid
improvement in food production technology, a system that makes the
agricultural process easier and burden free from the farmer’s prospective.
 In a country like India, where the economy is mainly based on agriculture and
the climatic conditions are isotropic, still we are not able to make full use of
agricultural resources, so we introduce the MBIS.
 MBIS is a manually controlled micro controller based irrigation system by
which farmers can irrigate their fields very easily from anywhere in the world.

3. Problems in Irrigation
 Water wastage
 Crop destroyed
 Money wastage
 Time wastage
 Land fertility decrease
 Huge labor needed

4. Drip Irrigation System
 In manual irrigation sometimes
the quantity of water irrigated is in
excess or sometimes there is
scarcity of water due to which the
crops get destroyed.
 Drip irrigation saves water by
allowing water to drip slowly
directly to the roots of plants,
through a network
of valves, pipes, tubing,
and emitters.
 It will improve crop performance
by ensuring adequate water and
nutrients when needed.

6. Sensing logic
 The logic consists of two wires one with the 5V supply and the other one was the
ground attached to the adjacent sprinklers of Drip irrigation system
 When there is water in the field conduction will take place between the wires
• voltage at the microcontroller will go low
• The interrupt generated will trigger the GSM module to call the
authentic user which indicates there is need of turning OFF the
motor.
 If there is no water in the field, there is no conduction between the wires
• voltage at the microcontroller will go high
• The interrupt generated will trigger the GSM module to call the
authentic user which indicates there is need of turning ON the
motor

7. Working
 Once call has come from the GSM module setup in the circuit.
 If the farmer wants to switch ON the motor he just needs to give a ring to the
particular modem number (GSM number) which is implemented in this
circuit.
 Microcontroller checks weather the call is coming from authenticated person
if it matches with the number which is given in the program then it will start
the motor.
 If the number doesn’t match means some other person is calling then no
action will be taken.

8. Advantages
 Decreased Labor Costs.
 Improved and better crop
production.
 No water deficiency in crops.
 User friendly setup.
 Easy to control
 Saves time.
 Saves water.
 Low cost and easy to implement.
 Cover whole area of the field.
 Reliable system.

9. Disadvantages
 Difficult in case of failure of GSM modem.
 Kit is to be protected from reaching water.

10. Conclusion
 This system is user friendly and having a lots of advantages
 Farmer can use it from any where in the world according to their needs.
 It is very cheap and reliable system having less disadvantages.
 The ability to conserve the natural resources as well as giving a splendid
boost to the production of the crops is one of the main aims of
implementing such technology into the agricultural domain of the country
 To achieve the nation’s goal of having three times meal for everyone.
