Abstract

Agriculture employs the majority of Indians and has a significant impact on the country's economy. Agriculture becomes difficult in dry locations or when rainfall is scarce. As a result, it must be automated for proper plant watering and managed remotely by the farmer. The objective of this paper, is to do automation using a soil moisture sensor (LM393IC) and a temperature sensor (LM35) for farm irrigation and soil moisture control with help of Arduino. In this paper, the designing and manufacturing of printed circuit board is described with details of working principle along with the software details. Once the electricity is turned on, this automatic irrigation system senses the soil moisture level and activates the pump. The percepts of the soil moisture and temperature sensors offer feedback to manage the soil's water content. This automated water pump is validated by comparing the values of the sensor with actual measuring instrument results and it is applied on rose flower to check its workability.
