Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on reducing the manual involvement of farmer in the field by using an automated irrigation system. So we have included IOT in our project and the coding required in it is done in the Arduino IDE platform. We have taken a microcontroller that is Node MCU and had connected all the sensors in it to operate respectively. We have set a particular value to which if the moisture content detects less than the motor will on automatically or else it will be off. It conserves the water and also manages the amount of water efficiently for plants. It results in reducing human labour, effort, and errors due to human negligence. During the day, solar panels give power to the system and store the energy, allowing it to run at night. It detects the amount of moisture in the soil using a moisture sensor. The pump mechanism is triggered when the moisture content of the soil falls below a specified level for the plant/crop, and the plant/crop is irrigated. On receiving the desired level of irrigation the pumping system is switched off automatically. Keywords: IOT, Automated Irrigation, Solar Source, Save Water.
