Abstract
IOT plays a major role in agricultural field This paper is mainly applied to agricultural field Smart irrigation and farming can help farmers to grow healthy plants. The existing system only checks the soil water stress and automates the process of watering. The paper is about IOT based smart farming and irrigation system. The ultimate agenda of this paper is to automate the process of watering to plants. This work helps us to know the values of various parameters such as humidity, moisture and temperature of plants and water them accordingly. The system consists of three sensors which sense the values of humidity, moisture and temperature of plants. If any of the values decreases the motor automatically turns on the water for plants. This is done using Arduino board, voltage regulator and relay which controls the motor. WIFI module is used to inform the user about the exact field condition. The various sensors send the values to the Arduino board which has been coded with if else conditions will further pass the commands to the relay which turns on or off the motor according to the conditions given. If the sensor values are decreased, it turns on the motor else it turns off the motor. The ultimate significance of this paper is that most of the manual work is reduced and watering process is automated with the help of devices as a result of which healthy plants can be grown, Water and electricity usage are saved by this paper. Even elderly people can easily do farming. The paper has been used to grow a tomato plant and it was successfully grown by automatic process. This methodology with the use of IOT technology had made us achieve a healthy farming. Increase in agriculture also helps us to increase the economical state of the country.
