Soil Moisture sensed Auto Irrigation System

  • Abstract:
  • The effective management of water in agriculture is an urgent and more extreme problem of worldwide water shortages and increasing requirements for food production. The following study gives the process of creating a soil moisture- sensitive auto irrigation system aimed at irrigating farmland based on actual real-time soil moisture dataThe device integrates a soil moisture sensor, a microcontroller, and a custom-made Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that scans soil conditions and controls a water pump in response. When the level of moisture in the soil drops below a predetermined level, the device switches the pump on, and switches it off when adequate moisture has been recovered. This not only minimizes manual intervention but also optimizes the use of water.The custom PCB design provides improved system reliability, wiring simplification, and compact integration appropriate for scale-up agricultural usage. Experimental test validates the utility of the system to ensure evenly controlled soil moisture levels, as well as the potential to promote improved irrigation efficiency in small- and large-scale agricultural uses.
