  • Abstract:
  • This paper gives the embedded system for automatic irrigation using the soil moisture sensor based on solar power with GSM module. Solar energy is best way for the irrigation purpose to overcome energy crisis . The solar panel will extract energy from the sun and convert into electrical energy which is stored in the battery. Automatic irrigation using solar energy can be efficiently used for the proper management in irrigation. Proper irrigation increases fertility rate of the field and can get maximum production of yields and the quality of the crop by improving management of water during critical plant growth stages. The benefit of solar based automatic irrigation using soil moisture in the field get continuous flow of water and plant grows rapidly. The proper management of water helps to get rid off from the scarcity of water . The GSM (Global System of Mobile Communication) module used to send the message on the registered SIM to check the status of pump ON/OFF . If the automated system is not working then pump can also be operated manually. The manual operation can be done through the manual switching system. Another benefit of the manual operation is that it can also be used to pump the water supply for other purpose besides irrigating the field. The soil moisture sensor measures the soil resistivity or volumetric moisture content of soil in terms of voltage.
