ABSTRACT
Agriculture is done in every country for ages. Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization. Agriculture has been done manually for ages. As the world is trending into new technologies and implementations it is a necessary goal to trend up with agriculture also. IoT plays a very important role in smart agriculture. Smart agriculture increases crop yield decreases water wastage, and imbalanced use of fertilizers. The objective of our project is to reduce this manual involvement by the farmer by using an automated irrigation system whose purpose is to enhance water use for crops. The farmers working in the farmlands are only dependent on the rains and bore wells for irrigation of the land. Even if the farmland has a water pump, manual involvement by farmers is required to turn the pump on/off when needed. The project is intended to cultivate an automatic irrigation system that controls the pump motor ON/OFF on sensing the moisture content of the soil and humidity. In the field of agriculture, the use of an appropriate technique of irrigation is essential. The advantage of using this technique is to reduce human intervention and still certify proper irrigation. A software application will be developed by predetermining the threshold values of soil moisture, temperature, and water level that were programmed into an arm controller. This paper presents the controlling and monitoring of the level of water and detecting the soil moisture content.
