IoT Based Real Time Applications: Smart Irrigation in Agriculture

Abstract

By automating farm tasks, the agricultural sector can go from being manual and static to intelligent and dynamic, increasing productivity while requiring less human oversight. This study suggests an automated irrigation system that uses automatic watering to monitor and maintain the appropriate soil moisture content. The control unit is implemented using the Arduino Uno platform and microcontroller. The system makes use of soil moisture sensors to determine the precise moisture content of the soil. This number helps the system to use the right amount of water, preventing over- or under-irrigation. Farmers are informed of sprinkler status with the usage of IoT. The system makes use of soil moisture sensors to determine the precise the content of the soil. This number helps the system to use the right amount of water, preventing over under-irrigation. Farmers are informed of sprinkler status with the usage of IOT. This method saves labor as well as water. Using this strategy, water delivery will be based on crop the soil moisture sensor is designed to identify moisture for this independent system, and the ESP8266 Wi-Fi will receive the result.
