Automated Precision Irrigation

EasyChair Preprint 2138

Abstract

Agriculture needs 85% of the available freshwater and its requirement may increase in the future. Hence, a system is needed to utilize water efficiently in agriculture. The modern drip irrigation system lessens a significant amount of water usage compared to the traditional methods. And some crops need variable amounts of water as grow.

This seminar proposes automation of drip irrigation in which the various mechatronics sensors calculate the soil’s wetness level and transmits the data onto the microcontroller. The microcontroller decides the irrigation and sends the status of the field to the Farmers.

Agriculture plays a vital role in the development of an agricultural country like India. Issues concerning agriculture have been always hindering the development of the country. The only solution to this problem is smart agriculture by modernizing the current traditional methods of agriculture

Keyphrases: Agriculture, Automation, Irrigation, Mechatronics
