Smart Irrigation System Based on Crop Types

In a Country, agriculture plays an important role for nation’s welfare, food production and total development of the country. Specifically a country like India, where agriculture plays marvellous role in nation’s development and economy, it should be cared and looked very consciously to produce better and productive outcomes. As we all know that agriculture vastly depends on water and the methods of irrigation. Although the current methods of irrigation are efficient, reliable and robust, but still they are lacking the smartness of technology. In order to fill the gap and making the irrigation process more advance, IOT based solutions and deep knowledge of crops are required. In which usage of smart Arduino microcontrollers, soil moisture sensor, supply controllers along with crop data will be organised in such a way that the system will automatically sense the soil moisture according to respective period and crop type, and start the irrigation process till required. The whole system will be fully automatic, once setup and deployed, no need to manually check and diagnose the system, crop and soil. Everything will be managed and maintained by system on its own. The farmer can check the condition and soil data on small IOT LCD display and can control according to him. This system will work efficiently with Sprinkler water system and produce desired outcome.
