Project Summary

Agriculture is the source of living and it also has a countless influence on economy of the country. The objective of our project is to reduce this manual involvement by the farmer by using an IOT Based Smart Irrigation System which purpose is to enhance water use for agricultural crops. IOT Based Smart Irrigation System senses the moisture content of the soil and automatically switches the pump when the power is on. In this project an automation of farm irrigation and soil moisture control by Arduino using soil moisture sensor and L293D module. This IOT Based Smart Irrigation System senses the moisture content of the soil and automatically switches the pump when the power is on.

Project Objectives

The main objectives of IOT based irrigation system are given below.

• Ensure enough moisture essential for plant growth.
• Provide crop insurance against short duration drought.
• Cool the soil and atmosphere to provide a suitable surrounding.
• Wash out or dilute harmful salt, chemicals of the soil.
• Reduce hazards of soil piping.
• Soften the tillage pan.

Project Implementation Method

Arduino is used for controlling whole the process of this Automatic Plant Watering System. The output of soil sensor circuit is directly connected to digital pin D7 of Arduino. A LED is used at the sensor circuit, this LED’s ON state indicates the presence of moisture in the soil and OFF state indicates the absense of moisture in the soil.

GSM module is used for sending SMS to the user. Here we have used TTL SIM800 GSM module, which gives and takes TTL logic directly (user may use any GSM module). A LM317 Voltage regulator is used to power the SIM800 GSM module. LM317 is very sensitive to voltage rating and it is recommended to read its datasheet before use. Its operating voltage rating is 3.8v to 4.2v
