Smart Irrigation System for Coimbatore District

Abstract

In India, agriculture is crucial to the growth of the food industry. Agriculture in our nation is reliant on monsoons, which are an insufficient source of water. Therefore, agriculture uses irrigation. The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a turning point in technological development. IoT is crucial in many industries, including agriculture, which could eventually provide food for billions of people. This study’s objective is to deal with this issue. Since the entire system is microcontroller-based and wireless programmable, there is no need to worry about timing irrigation according to crop or soil conditions. Sensors are used to measure soil properties such as soil moisture, temperature, and air moisture. The user (farmer) controls decision-making by utilizing a microcontroller. The sensor data is transmitted wirelessly to a server-based database. The watering will be automated after the field’s temperature and moisture content have dropped. The condition of the field is periodically updated via mobile notifications to the farmer. This system will be more beneficial in locations with a shortage of water and will be effective in meeting its needs.
