Abstract
Agriculture production is a significant role in Indian Economy. Traditional methods of farming needs vital human process of monitoring and measuring of parameters like soil moisture level, pH value, temperature and water level. Modern Technology has improved a lot for smart way of irrigation system. This paper introduces the concept of smart irrigation system with measurement of humidity and temperature using soil moisture sensors and ARDUINO microcontroller. Humidity and temperature are measured and analyzed using an Arduino-Uno microcontroller with a humidity measuring sensor and a temperature measuring sensor. The hygrometer is a sensor that delivers information about the moisture status of the soil after being placed in it for a period of time. The data from the hygrometer will be collected and processed by an Arduino - Uno. Water will be supplied when the moisture level of soil reaches a certain level. This is necessary because the plant need water at a specific period in order to produce a high yield. Farm automation can shift the agricultural domain from one that is physical and static to one that is intelligent and dynamic, resulting in increased production with less human monitoring. The autonomous irrigation system used in this study uses watering-on-demand to monitor and maintain the required level of soil moisture. The control and monitoring system is designed and demonstrated using the ATMEGA328P Microcontroller on the Arduino- Uno platform.
