Abstract:
In the current situation we know that, Technology is an important part
that plays a major role in the field of agriculture. In this paper it will be
explained how to build an intelligent irrigation system using Arduino as the
major component. This system contains a precise method to determine water
balance of soils with an automatic response to the water content in the soil. It
will be a break-through in agriculture, as it will be helping in precise decision
for the plants which will be prevent its death either by overflowing water or of
insufficient water.
In the modern world Scarcity of food and water mainly occurs due to the
increase in population in order to avoid this there is a need to promote the
agriculture sector. There are a lot of wastage water and other resources in the
crop field. In order to avoid this problem, we are using an automated plant
monitoring system using Arduino. This system senses the moisture content of
the soil and provides adequate water according to the need. This system, also
includes the monitoring of crop growth and to detect the water level in the tank.
So, when the soil is dry the pump will automatically water the fields and when
the soil is wet the pump automatically stops, there by eradicate the need of
manpower and conserve the time.

1. Introduction:
The soil is an important feature that is required for the proper
nourishment and growth of plant. Irrigation, it is one of the most common way
of watering. It is mainly found or used up in dry areas and places where there is
less rainfall throughout the year. One of the greatest advantages of irrigation is
that it will suppress the growth of weeds in the agricultural fields.
That is the main reason why an automatic plant irrigation system is been
developed. It prevents the unnecessary wastage of water and other resources.
The automatic watering system works by sensing the moisture content of the
soil and operates the pump according to the need. Any water sources can be
used for this irrigation system. It even senses the crop growth and can detect the
water level in the nearby source. The main advantages are it is cost effective,
time saving and automatic.

for unquestionable use and may be due to some of the reasons why one of these
reasons is being spent. One of these fields is agriculture.
Agriculture has been one of the essential occupations of men after just-in-
time development. In addition to this development, irrigation plays an important
role. The objective of this study is to design and implement an automatic
irrigation system with microcontroller to increase irrigation efficiency, saving
time and energy for farmers.

sensible irrigation system has become a primary concern to relinquish farmer a
wise tool which would support them in yielding quality crops.
2.3. Solution:
Sensors used are soil wetness detector , water flow detector and
temperature sensor(ds18b20) sort of a detector which might calculate the
quantity of water in the sector , a soil wetness detector that can calculate the
wetness profile of the sector so as to prevent crops from water work problems
and a temperature sensing detector so one will check the temperature of the
crops as a result of crops area unit temperature sensitive too and if the smart
system aware the farmer before then farmer will use sprinklers so as to cool
down temperature of the crops it would save each crop and farmer.

3. Literature Survey:
This system sensed the moisture content of the soil and provides adequate
water according to the need. This system also includes the monitoring of crop
growth and to detect the water level in the tank. So when the soil is dry the
pump will automatically water the fields and when the soil is wet the pump
automatically stops, there by eradicate the need of manpower and conserve the
time.

4. Methodology:
The soil moisture sensor checks the moisture level in the soil. If the
moisture level is present in soil then conduction occurs between the two probes
of Soil Moisture Sensor. Due to this conduction, the transistor Q2 remains in
triggered state and so Arduino Pin D7 remains Low. When Arduino pin reads
LOW signal at D7. The GSM module sends SMS to the user that Soil Moisture
is Normal and the motor is turned OFF.So water pump remains in Off state. In
case of low moisture in the soil the Transistor Q2 turns off and then the Pin D7
becomes High. Then the Arduino Uno reads the Pin D7 and triggers the water
motor. Using the gsm module message is sent to the user about “Low Soil
Moisture level detected and the Motor is turned ON”.The water Motor will
automatically turn off when there is sufficient moisture in the soil.
4.1. Description:
Working of this Automatic Plant Irrigation System is quite simple. First
of all, it is a Completely Automated System and there is no need of manpower
to control the system. Arduino is used for controlling the whole process and
GSM module is used for sending alert messages to user on his cell phone. If
moisture is present in soil, then there is conduction between the two probes of
Soil Moisture sensor and due to this conduction, transistor Q2 remains in
triggered/on state and Arduino Pin D7 remains Low. When Arduino reads LOW
signal at D7, then it sends SMS to user about “Soil Moisture is Normal. Motor
turned OFF” and water pump remains in off state. Now if there is no Moisture
14
in soil then Transistor Q2 becomes off and Pin D7 becomes high. Then Arduino
reads the Pin D7 and turns on the water motor and also sends message to user
about “Low Soil Moisture detected. Motor turned ON”. Motor will
automatically turn off when there is sufficient moisture in the soil. This method
is based on ultimately profit. , it is the standard with which all other methods are
compared.

systems. Some rotors carry magnets and the stator grabs the conductors. The
supports are used to allow the rotor to rotate continuously towards its axis. A
12V DC motor is used which is fully controlled by the Arduino board. These
motors can be turned off and on according to the needs.

7. Future Applications
Irrigation becomes easy, accurate and practical with the same soil sample
impossible. Because of the idea above shared and can be implemented in
agricultural difficulties of accurately measuring dry soil and water fields in
future to promote agriculture to next level. The Volumes, volumetric water
contents are not usually output from moisture sensor and level system plays
major determined directly. Role in producing the output.
