Automatic Irrigation System Using Soil Moisture Sensor Abstract

Multiplying the water fraction by volume measurement by 100 will equal the volumetric percent of water in soil.

Automatic irrigation system using soil moisture sensor abstract.

Hence the system reduces human intervention and provides required irrigation to field. The soil moisture sensor measures the conductivity of the. Depending on the quality of the sensor it must be inserted near the roots of the plant. Automattic irrigation and plant watering system using arduino and soil moisture sensor this project is about a moisture sensing automatic plant watering system using arduino uno.

The system reads the moisture content of the soil using soil moisture sensor and switches on the motor when the moisture is below the set limit. It is an arduino based automatic plant watering system that uses a soil moisture sensor. Automatic plant watering system circuit and working. The aim of the project is to develop an auto irrigation system which measures the moisture of the soil and automatically turns on or off the water supply system.

The author s prototype is shown in fig. For example a water content of 0 20 wfv soil moisture and irrigation read more. On receiving the signal the microcontroller produces an output that drives a relay and operates the water pump. The soil moisture sensor is inserted in the soil.

The working of the circuit is as follows. Also lcd is used which is interfaced with microcontroller for displaying the moisture content of soil and water pump status. The idea of the project is to implement an automatic irrigation system by sensing the moisture of the soil.
