Solar Based Automatic Irrigation System

Abstract

India is an agriculture-based country. Most of us are completely dependent on Agricultural crops. Agriculture is the source of employment for most Indians and has a significant impact on the country's economy. proper irrigation system usage is very important because there is a shortage of land-reserved water due to a lack of rain and spontaneous use of water, and as a result, large amounts of water go to waste. For this reason, we use this automatic plant watering and soil moisture monitoring system, which is extremely helpful in all climatic conditions. Automation of farm irrigation and soil moisture control using a microcontroller, a soil moisture sensor, and a pump motor through a relay module This automatic irrigation system senses the moisture level present in the soil and automatically switches the pump when the power is on. When the soil goes dry, the pump will start watering. The aim of the execution is to decrease water use, and automatic irrigation can be used to save time with a low-power monitoring device.
