Automatic Irrigation System Using Soil Moisture Sensor

Depending on the quality of the sensor it must be inserted near the roots of the plant.

Automatic irrigation system using soil moisture sensor.

I could use 12 volt water pump in the system but to operate this it will require a relay module. Automatic watering system using fc 28 moisture sensor with arduino by admin published november 20 2017 updated april 17 2020 automatic irrigation is a concept of controlled watering of plants without any manual operations so as to maintain a water level ideal for its cultivation. Also lcd is used which is interfaced with microcontroller for displaying the moisture content of soil and water pump status. The smart irrigation system has wide scope to automate the complete irrigation system.

Here we are building a iot based irrigation system using esp8266 nodemcu module and dht11 sensor. 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. A relay module which used. The working of the circuit is as follows.

As plant get sufficient water and soil get wet then sensor senses enough moisture in soil. The idea of the project is to implement an automatic irrigation system by sensing the moisture of the soil. Hence the system reduces human intervention and provides required irrigation to field. After which the water pump will automatically get stopped.

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 automated irrigation system is a fully functional prototype which consists of a soil moisture sensor. The ideal setting for using soil moisture sensors to manage the irrigation in this challenging environment. An lcd display to show the moisture percentage and pump status.

Simply install a sensor in each of the zones and then set up a watering strategy for each location. The automatic irrigation system on sensing soil moisture project is intended for the development of an irrigation system that switches submersible pumps on or off by using relays to perform this action on sensing the moisture content of the soil. I have used a self made water pump in this system using 5 volt dc motor. The soil moisture sensor is inserted in the soil.

The soil moisture sensor measures the conductivity of the.
