Description
Summary:Today, we live in 21st century where automation is playing a major role in human race. Automation ensures higher production rates, improved safety and shorter workweeks for labours. Many farmers today can't afford to use automation and control machines owing to their high cost. Many villages in India have to use fuel based irrigation system due to a shortage of electricity. Fuels cause global warming and pollution in environment. In this paper our aim is to propose an automatic irrigation system which is cost effective and farmers can use it in an agricultural field. As the system is automated, the pump turns ON/OFF only when the moisture content of soil is below critical level which is regulated by a soil moisture sensor. The objectives of this paper are to control the automatic irrigation system with the help of a GSM module. The farmer at his own discretion can send a message to ON/OFF the pump without going to the field. PIC microcontroller, LCD display, sensors have been used as prime components. Farmer can control the system in automatic or manual mode also substantially reduce the electricity and water cost. We would discuss the design and implementation of the automated irrigation system. Finally, a prototype is designed and implemented and the experimental results are presented
