System for the Management of Plant Irrigation Based on the Internet of Things

Abstract

As a result, modern society is wholly reliant on cutting-edge technological advancements. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, irrigation systems are also gaining intelligence and so becoming preferable to older techniques. Utilizing data like soil moisture, weather forecasts, etc., the suggested method may maximise water use efficiency. Additionally, it will utilise IoT technology to provide feedback to the owner on the state of the soil and motor. If the proposed model detects that water is needed in a field, it can activate and deactivate the motor pump accordingly by reading the moisture level of the soil. A moisture sensor measures the moisture content of the soil in a certain region. When the water needs are met, the motor will turn off; when the field dries up, it will turn back on. An update (motor ON/OFF status) is transmitted to the farmers using IoT technology. The suggested system is entirely managed by an Arduino.
