Abstract:
Effective water management is crucial to contemporary agriculture, with a direct effect on crop yield and sustainability. Manual readings are the basis of traditional soil moisture measurement techniques, which are time-consuming and inadequate for mass agriculture. To overcome such drawbacks, the paper introduces a wireless soil moisture sensor system to provide real-time monitoring for accurate irrigation. The system to be developed combines a soil moisture sensor with an XBee-based wireless communication module for remotely transmitting data to a centralized monitoring station. Real-time data collection enables analysis of soil moisture levels, aiding in the decision-making process of optimal irrigation schedules. Automation of this process saves water wastage, avoids over-irrigation, and improves overall crop health.Unlike traditional techniques that necessitate recurrent human intervention, this system provides continuous monitoring. Experimental findings confirm the system's effectiveness in the transmission of soil moisture information over long distances with minimal power usage. XBee module's capability to create a stable wireless network makes it the most suitable module for use in agriculture where energy conservation and scalability are essential. The research reveals the capability of wireless soil moisture monitoring in enhancing precision agriculture, facilitating automated irrigation systems, and encouraging efficient water resource management. By using wireless technology, such a strategy enhances water efficiency in irrigation, saves water, and increases agricultural output, thereby becoming a key solution for future agriculture.
