Project Summary

we discussed about the literature review related to our project and how our project relates with previous work. In our project, we modify the old technology by using of different sensors and addition of Fertilizer. We use Arduino in which we upload the program that runs the project.

Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is to develop an automated system that solves most problems related to irrigation and agriculture. Such as controlling and saving both the water and electricity, Increasing agricultural production using small quantities of water. All these features make the automated system sustainable option to be considered to improve the agriculture and irrigation efficiency. The goals of this study are to discover the excellent automation technique for irrigation system automatically controlled through software in a way that allows the user to monitor all information and manage the device immediately from mobile.

Project Implementation Method

This project uses Arduino Uno to control the motor. The Arduino Board is programmed using the Arduino UNO software. Three moisture sensors measure the level of moisture in the soil, calculates the average moisture value, and sends the signal to the Arduino if watering is required. The water pump supplies water to the plants until the desired moisture level is reached. The rechargeable battery that supplies required power source is recharged via Solar panel. A moisture sensor is used for sensing the soil condition to know whether the soil is wet or dry, and the input signals are then sent to the microcontroller, which controls the whole circuit. Whenever the soil condition is dry, the microcontroller sends command to relay and the motor gets switched on and supplies water to the field. And if the soil gets wet, motor gets switched off. Also we automatically fertilized the fields.

Benefits of the Project

• Optimize water consumption. 
• Automated system fully.
• No manpower required.
• Make system easy to use by farmers.
• It works everywhere.
• There is no fuel cost because it uses available free sun light.
• It creates wealth for formers by increasing number of crops
• Dependency on rain is reduced.
• Solar power is pollution free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

• A new system is developed there is no need to irrigate the system manually.
• We develop the system that can automatically irrigate crop by using different sensor and addition of urea according to needs of the fields.
• Very helpful for formers and gardeners who don’t have abundant time to irrigate water and fertilized their crops/plants.
• Grow more pastures and crops.
• This system Can be installed everywhere where there is shortage of electricity.
• Expected outcomes of this project are facilitated and simplify the irrigation system by installing and designing the whole automatic irrigation system, increase crop performance by reducing overwatering from saturated soil. It can prevent irrigation happening on the day at the wrong time, to switch motor ON or OFF by utilizing the irrigation system, the Arduino will work to switch the pump, so no need for employers, to reduce mistakes of operation due to employees as much as possible and to preserve water from waste.
