Automatic plant monitoring system have recently attracted tremendous interest due to the potential application in emerging technology. More importantly, this technique have improved and may be used to enhance the performance of existing techniques or to develop and design new techniques for the growth of plants . This project will shows the new source for watering the plants in the farms which is reducing the man power . This system will ensure that plants will be monitered without direct influence of men. For designing this system electronic devices like arduino ,sensors (pressure ,soil moisture) and servo , relay , display are used . we mainly introduced automatic watering of plants which shows much efficiency for watering plants compared to other techniques used which facilitates more effective multi-type harvesting the farms and clarifies a mechanism for realizing multi-functional practices in farms using electronic devices.
2. This project deals about the plant monitering mechanism which gives
information about the temperature ,pressure , humidity.
This can be done by using various sensors like temperature ,pressure and
humidity sensing sensors.
This will be enhancing the growth of plant.
The two modes of operating system :
a)When it detects if the plant need some water it will be watering the plants.
b)A manual mode where you can control the servos and relays manually.

5. Specifications:
Vin: 3 to 5V DC.
Pressure sensing range: 300-1100 h Pa (9000m to -500m
above sea level).
-40 to +85°C operational range, +/-2°C temperature
accuracy.
This board/chip uses I2C 7-bit address .
BMP180 SENSOR
The BMP 180 sensor has four important internal peripherals
a)Sensor Element.
b)ADC (analog to digital converter).
c) Control unit .
d) EEPROM.
8. It is very Tiny and lightweight which will give high output power.
Servo can rotate approximately 180 degrees (90 in each direction), and works just like
the standard kinds but smaller.
You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos.
Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller
with feedback & gear box, especially since it will fit in small places.
It comes with a 3 horns (arms) and hardware.
9. Soil moisture measure the volumetric water content in soil .
Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires
removing, drying, and weighting of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure
the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the
soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant, or interaction
with neutrons, as a proxy for the moisture content.
The relation between the measured property and soil moisture must be
calibrated and may vary depending on environmental factors such as soil
type, temperature, or electric conductivity.
SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
10. Reflected microwave radiation is affected by the soil
moisture and is used for remote sensing in hydrology
and agriculture.
Portable probe instruments can be used by farmers
or gardeners.
11. The relay is an automatic protective and switching
device which is capable of sensing abnormal conditions
in electrical circuits.
These are operated to open or close the load contacts in
response to one or more electrical quantities like voltage
and current.
Relays are used to realize logic functions. They play a
very important role in providing safety critical logic.
RELAY
12. Relays are used to provide time delay functions. They are used to time the delay open
and delay close of contacts.
Relays are used to control high voltage circuits with the help of low voltage signals.
Similarly they are used to control high current circuits with the help of low current
signals.
They are also used as protective relays. By this function all the faults during
transmission and reception can be detected and isolated.
13. A display device is an output device for presentation
of information in visual.
When the input information is supplied has an
electrical signal, the display is called electronic display.
LCD DISPLAY
14. The main principle behind liquid crystal molecules is that when an electric current is
applied to them, they tend to untwist.
This causes a change in the light angle passing through them. This causes a change in
the angle of the top polarizing filter with respect to it.
So little light is allowed to pass through that particular area of LCD. Thus that area
becomes darker comparing to others.
15. DC Motors
DC Motors are used in preparing water pumping motors
and it require basically two 200RPM motors.
These motors require a DC supply of 12V.
21. There has been proposed a new automatic monitoring of plants by creating
algorithm for farms at indoor scenarios that is based for restricted crops. It can
effectively used for a particular area and controlled by electronic gadgets. The
present approach learns the optimum usage for combining several feature
descriptors, as well as the many numbers of engineering works to be used in the
designing. The algorithm also shows the improvement of crop according to the
working is to be able to use realistic. The algorithm is divided into two different
modules. The motor module is running according to soil moisture sensor modules
and will operate. The approach achieving barometric pressure sensor which similar
to above will operate like above sensor apart from that shows the temperature and
heater will be going to work.
In future we can add a camera at the field which helps in capturing image and the
image can be transmitted to the farmer by connecting the entire system to IOT the
image can be observed from anywhere by connecting to the internet. The farmer can
control the operation of motors and heater by considering the soil moisture sensor
output.
