 INTRODUCTION

• Agriculture is the need of most of the Indians livelihood and it

is one of the main sources of livelihood.

• Agriculture also has a major impact on economy of the

country.
• The consumption of water increases day by day that may leads
to the problem of water scarcity.

• Now a days, farmer are struggling hard in the agriculture field

and the task of irrigating field is becoming quite difficult for
the farmers due to lack of regularity in their work and
negligence..
 PROBLEM STATEMENT:
• Primitive irrigation system causes many
drawbacks as it fails to conserve water and
human energy so we are introducing automatic
irrigation system by sensing soil moisture
• Due to hot weather many farmers are not able
to go water plant .
BLOCK DIAGRAM:
 WORKING PRINCIPLE:
• The project uses an atmega series microcontroller which is
programmed to receive the input signal of varying moisture
condition of the soil through the sensing arrangement.
• This is achieved by using an op-amp as comparator which acts
as interface between the sensing arrangement and the
microcontroller.
• Once the controller receives this signal, it generates an output
that drives a relay for operating the water pump.
• An LCD display is also interfaced to the microcontroller to
display status of the soil and water pump.
• The sensing arrangement is made by using two stiff metallic
rods inserted into the field at a distance or sensor.

 Software requirement
• KEIL COMPILER
• LANGUAGE EMBEDDED C
 Applications:
• The circuit can be used to measure the loss of moisture.
• Minimizes water waste and improves plant growth.
• The circuit is designed to word automatically and hence there
is no need for any human intervention.
• The project is intended for small gardens and residential
environment.By using advanced soil moisture sensor,the same
circuit can be expanded to large agriculture fields.
 CONCLUSION:
• The Project ‘Automatic irrigation system’ is used for the
optimization use of water in agricultural field without the
intervention of farmer by using soil moisture Sensor that
senses the moisture content of the Soil using
Microcontroller that turn ON/OFF the pump automatically
according to the need of water for irrigation and hence
helpful in saving water.
• This system is quite affordable and feasible. This system of
irrigation is also helpful in the region where there is scarcity
of water and improves their sustainability.
• And it also can be adjusted according to the need of
varieties of crop to be irrigated.
