This study is designed to develop an automatic irrigation system that switches (ON/OFF) a pump motor by sensing the moisture content of the soil using wireless technology. Through GSM Modem, the sensed moisture content data will be sent as an SMS to the user. The project uses 8051 series microcontroller, which is programmed to receive the input signal of varying moistures of the soil through sensors. This is achieved by using an op-amp as comparator which acts as interface between the sensing device and the microcontroller. Once the controller receives the signal, it generates an output that drives a relay for operating the water pump. It also sends an SMS to the concerned number using GSM modem. An LCD display is also interfaced to the microcontroller to display the status of the soil and water pump ON/Off condition. The sensing arrangement is made using two stiff metallic rods inserted to the agricultural field required to be in control. Connections from the metallic rods are interfaced to the control unit. This concept can also be enhanced by integrating XBEE/Bluetooth technology, such that whenever the water pump switches ON/OFF, the information is sent to a smart mobile phone or XBEE transceiver module regarding the status of the pump.

Water scarcity has become the most important challenge facing the world and a source of fear to the global community from the spread of famines due to the lack of agricultural production. For this reason, researchers seek to optimize the use of food resources, including water wealth. This project contributes to the legalization of the use of water resources. One of these methods is to solve the problem of a decrease in water resources, is drip irrigation systems. An affordable system was developed using soil moisture FC-28 hygrometer sensor compatible with arduino uno R3 and sending electrical signals based on voltage difference due to increased or decreased water in the soil to the monitor through the arduino for decision to operate irrigation pumps. The system is controlled by a software that allows the user to know the current state of the soil to choose the type of plant to determine the amount of water and the possibility of adding new types of plants to the program library and other features.

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.

microcontroller based controlled irrigation system for plantationRohithasangaraju
The population of India has reached beyond 1.2 billion. If the population goes on increasing with the present rate then after 25-30 years there will be a serious problem of food, so in order to meet the demand of food one has to give more emphasis on the development of agriculture. Today, man has occupied all the suitable land but the land located far away from the human settlement is not developed properly and not utilized fully because it requires more manpower, time and expenditure. But now a days it is possible to pay more attention with the help of modern available controlled devices like computer, microprocessor, sensor, integrated circuits and microcontroller.
In the present work a Microcontroller based controlled remote irrigation system is developed for the agricultural plantation. The developed system is placed at the remote location and required water provides for plantation whenever the humidity of the soil goes below the set-point value. Humidity sensor provides proportional amount of output with change in humidity, which is compared, to the set-point and the data is taken through the channel. If the set-point data is high, then after motor is turned ON, which provides water to the plant till the humidity goes above set-point value. After reaching the humidity above set-point value motor is turned OFF and scans the next channel. This provides right amount of water at right time. The required software program is developed in assembly level language.
In this project an automated greenhouse robot was built with the purpose of controlling the greenhouse
environment Parameters such as temperature and humidity. The microcontroller used to create the automated

a bulb (for heating). The fan is used to change the temperature and the bulb is used to heat the plants. The
humidity control system and the temperature control system were tested both separately and together. The
result showed that the temperature and humidity could be maintained in the desired range.

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.
Agricultural sector is backbone of Indian economy as population increas es demand of water also increases. Usually lots of water wastage takes pl ace in the land,due to improper method of irrigation. A solar-based smart irrigation system enabl es user to monitor the relative soil moisture at many different location throughout the field to more precisely scheduled irrigation cycle. By using solar energy,we can save the electr ical energy. The sensing system is based on feedback control mechanism with microcontroller unit depending upon t he varied requirement of different crops we can irrigate our field.

Solar powered smart irrigation systems are very useful for farmers.Solar energy has emerged as viable source of renewable energy over the past few decades and is now used for various applications such as emergency lighting, water heaters, and industrial application. It is a cheap source of energy. Thesystem consists of water pump which is solar powered with a moisture sensor used for automatic water flow control, light ambient sensor, Temperature sensorand GSM technology.It has mainly working in two modes i.e. manual mode and automatic mode. We have provide a switch which controls that modeIn this RF transmitter and RF receiver will be used to operate the overall system. A polar single axis solar panel tracker is implemented andit has an adjustable horizontal motor controlled axisandfixed vertical axis. If 2 to 3 degrees of misalignment happens then the tracker will correct its position and prevents wastage of power by continuously running motor. The light intensity of the two LDR is compared and according to the higher intensity of LDR the rotation of solar panel is decided and it is adjusted.To prevent the panel from rotating 360-° the stepper motor will have overturn triggers.

Abstract— This study is designed to develop an
automatic irrigation system that switches (ON/OFF) a
pump motor by sensing the moisture content of the soil
using wireless technology. Through GSM Modem, the
sensed moisture content data will be sent as an SMS to
the user. The project uses 8051 series microcontroller,
which is programmed to receive the input signal of
varying moistures of the soil through sensors. This is
achieved by using an op-amp as comparator which acts
as interface between the sensing device and the
microcontroller. Once the controller receives the signal,
it generates an output that drives a relay for operating the
water pump. It also sends an SMS to the concerned
number using GSM modem. An LCD display is also
interfaced to the microcontroller to display the status of
the soil and water pump ON/Off condition. The sensing
arrangement is made using two stiff metallic rods inserted
to the agricultural field required to be in control.
Connections from the metallic rods are interfaced to the
control unit. This concept can also be enhanced by
integrating XBEE/Bluetooth technology, such that
whenever the water pump switches ON/OFF, the
information is sent to a smart mobile phone or XBEE
transceiver module regarding the status of the pump.
Keywords—Automation, Irrigation, Micro-controller,
Bluetooth, GSM Module.
I. INTRODUCTION
Water is a very precious resource and must be properly
utilized. Agriculture is one of those areas which consume
a lot of water. Irrigation is a time consuming process and
must be done on a timely basis. The aim of this study is to
develop an auto irrigation system which measures the
moisture of the soil and automatically turns on or off the
water supply system. The project requires very less
human involvement once installed. The circuit is based on
PIC microcontroller and also a soil moisture sensor. A
properly configured soil moisture sensor can save up to
60 percent of water used in irrigation. Irrigation system
uses valves to turn irrigation ON and OFF. These valves
may be easily automated by using controllers and
solenoids. Automating farm or nursery irrigation allows
farmers to apply the right amount of water at the right
time, regardless of the availability of labor to turn valves
on and off. In addition, farmers using automation
equipment are able to reduce runoff from over watering
saturated soils, avoid irrigating at the wrong time of day,
which will improve crop performance by ensuring
adequate water and nutrients when needed. It also helps in
time saving, removal of human error in adjusting
available soil moisture levels and to maximize their net
profits. A lot of research has been done by many authors
(Dukes et al. 2003; Suriyachai et al. 2012; Smajstrla and
Locascio, 1996; Phene and Howell, 1984; Nogueira et al.
2003; Dursun and Ozden, 2011; Prathyusha and Suman,
2012; Gracon et al. 2010; Dukes and Scholberg, 2005).
Irrigation of plants is usually a very time consuming
activity; to be done in a reasonable amount of time, it
requires a large amount of human resources.
Traditionally, all the steps were executed by humans.
Now a days, some systems use technology to reduce the
number of workers or the time required to water the
plants. With such systems, the control is very limited, and
many resources are still wasted. Water is one of these
resources that are used excessively. Flood irrigation is one
method used to water plants. This method represents
massive losses since the amount of water given is in
excess of plants need. The contemporary perception on of
water is that of a free, renewable resource that can be
used in abundance. However, this is not reality; in some
parts of India, water consumption is taxed. It is therefore,
reasonable to assume that it will soon become a very
expensive resource everywhere. In addition to excess cost
of water labour is becoming more and more expensive.
As a result, if no effort is in invested in optimizing these
resources, there will be more money involved in this
process. Technology is probably a solution to reduce the
costs and prevent loss of resources. The objective of this
study is to design a small scale automated irrigation
system that would use water in a more efficient way, in
order to prevent water loss and minimize the cost of
labour.

sensor network for real-time sensing and control of an
irrigation system. This system provides uniform and
required level of water for the agricultural farm and it
avoids water wastage. When the condition of water in the
agricultural farm is abnormal then the system
automatically switches ON the motor. When the water
level reaches normal level the motor automatically switch

The entire field is first divided into small sections such
that each section should contain one moisture sensor (Fig.
2). These sensors are buried in the ground at required
depth. Once the soil has reached desired moisture level
the sensors send a signal to the micro controller to turn on
the relays (Fig. 3), which control the motor. In this
system, automated irrigation mechanism turns the
pumping motor ON and OFF on detecting the dampness
content of the soil. In the domain of farming, utilization
of appropriate means of irrigation is significant. The
benefit of employing these techniques is to decrease
human interference. This automated irrigation project, the
soil sensor senses the moisture content by giving input
signal to an Arduino board which operates on 8051 series
micro-controller (Fig. 4), is programmed to collect the
input signal of changeable dampness circumstances of the
earth via dampness detecting system.

The idea of the study is to implement an automatic
irrigation system by sensing the moisture of the soil. The
working of the circuit is shown in Fig. 5. The
microcontroller used in the project is 8-bit
microcontroller. The main functions of the
microcontroller are reading the values from the soil
moisture sensor, displaying appropriate messages on the
LCD and controlling the relay to the motor. The soil
moisture sensor is inserted in the soil. Depending on the
quality of the sensor, it must be inserted near the roots of
the plant. The soil moisture sensor measures the
conductivity of the soil. Wet soil will be more conductive
than dry soil. The soil moisture sensor module has a
comparator in it. The voltage from the prongs and the

predefined voltage are compared and the output of the
comparator is high only when the soil condition is dry.
This output from the soil moisture sensor is given to the
analogue input pin of the microcontroller. The
microcontroller continuously monitors the analogue input
pin. When the moisture in the soil is above the threshold,
the microcontroller displays a message mentioning the
same and the motor is off. When the output from the soil
moisture sensor is high i.e. the moisture of the soil is less.
This will trigger the microcontroller and displays an
appropriate message on the LCD and the output of the
microcontroller, which is connected to the base of the
transistor, is high. When the transistor is turned on, the
relay coil gets energized and turns on the motor. The LED
is also turned on and acts as an indicator. When the
moisture of the soil reaches the threshold value, the
output of the soil moisture sensor is low and the motor is
turned off. The system is also designed to warn when the
moisture is very high than the threshold and the soil is too
wet, which is dangerous for the plant.

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Irrigation becomes easy, accurate and practical with the
idea above shared and can be implemented in agricultural
fields in future to promote agriculture to next level. The
output from moisture sensor and level system plays major
role in producing the output. The chosen approach is
expected to yield the following results.
Reduced labour
Reduced monitoring
Decrease in water input
Low maintenance
Low power consumption
The advantage of using this method is to reduce human
intervention and to ensure proper irrigation.
Minimizes water waste and improves plant
growth.
This system is designed to work automatically
and hence, there is no need for any human
intervention.
IV. CONCLUSIONS
The primary applications for this project are for farmers
and gardeners who do not have enough time to water their
crops/plants. It also covers those farmers who waste of
water during irrigation. The project can be extended to
greenhouses where manual supervision is far and few in
between. The principle can be extended to create fully
automated farmlands. Combined with the principle of rain
water harvesting, it could lead to huge water savings if
applied in the right manner. In agricultural lands with
severe shortage of rainfall, this model can be successfully
applied to achieve great results with most types of soil.
