Precision Agriculture by Implementing Smart Irrigation

Abstract

Utilization of water efficiently is a major concern in many cropping systems in semiarid areas. The main objective of this paper is to provide an ease for people in watering their plants by using IoT technology. This technology helps in collecting information about conditions like weather, moisture, temperature, fertility of soil and also to monitor the water level of the plants. IoT leverages people to get connected from anywhere and anytime. Sensor networks are used for monitoring the plant conditions, and micro controllers are used to control and automate the irrigation process. A smart phone empowers to keep updated with the ongoing conditions of the land using IoT at any time and any part of the world. IoT technology can reduce the cost and enhance the growth of plants.
