2. INTRODUCTION
Background: This system helps to water plants automatically by sensing
the moisture content thus eliminating manual labour and effective
growth of plants.
Existing System: Earlier plants were watered automatically without
checking the moisture content.
Concept: We are introducing a smart system for watering plants which
takes account of the moisture content of the soil.

3. EXISTING SYSTEMS
The systems that were used for agriculture was mainly manual labour
for watering plants. The plants in agricultural areas are usually
watered by humans during time periods. But it is impossible to water
during equal time intervals.
Disadvantages of the existing system
• Manual labour is required
• Cost is high as more labourers are required for larger crops
• Humans can't identify the amount of moisture present in the soil
which leads to improper watering.
