Abstract:
For the cultivation of agricultural crops during the span of inadequate rainfall, irrigation process can be used. An automatic irrigation system does the work quite efficiently and with a positive impact on the place where it is installed. It doesn’t require any human intervention to perform operations if it is installed and also the water distribution to the crops and nurseries becomes easier. Internet of Things (IOT) extends internet connectivity. It connects the external environment that utilizes embedded technology and the various traditional devices via internet. The proposed model uses Internet of Things to communicate with the external environment. The working model helps in development of an automated system that could be efficiently used in agriculture. The primary goal of this model is to maintain the growth of the plant. To avoid over-watering, detection of soil condition, moisture level prediction is very essential. The sensors help to detect the moisture and water level and thereby direct the pump to pour the required amount of water to crops. The proposed model works well both in landscapes and slope areas and it also helps to control the uneven moisture with the help of soil moisture sensor. Water is fed to the crops and sequence of operations is intimated to the user.
