AISG: IOT-DRIVEN IRRIGATION FOR AUGMENTED PLANT GROWTH

Abstract

Information technology has become so pervasive in today's highly technological culture that it affects every aspect of human existence. The advent of information technology has proven beneficial to many different industries, including horticulture, both on a domestic and commercial. Gardeners frequently face difficulties in maintaining their gardens during vacations or periods of neglect, leading to plant withering, and these challenges arise due to environmental stressors like light, soil moisture, and water. This research introduces AISG that represent Automat-ed Irrigation Smart Gardening. It provides a solution by integrating an IoT system with a responsive web-based application to monitor a plant's development in real time, including access to relevant data and the ability to adjust settings as needed. This approach will assist the gardeners in managing their plants and irrigate appropriately depending on the specific needs of the plants. Besides, it may reduce water consumption and allow plants to be tended. the moisture sensor measures soil dryness at two distinct locations in the field and transmits the data to the Arduino system, which considers information from both devices to deter-mine the required amount of water. The system continues collecting sensor data until it detects sufficient soil moisture, at which point it automatically turn off the pump. Another benefit of this approach is the gardeners can control the irrigation system that watering their plants from their phone. The sensor's collected information is automatically updated on an hourly basis. In conclusion, the expected outcome of this implementation system enables a more organized and systematic approach to tending plants at home, resulting in improved care and maintenance.
