Abstract
Water is the most essential contribution for upgrading agricultural productivity and therefore expansion of water system has been a key format in the improvement of farming in the nation. In this thesis we will develop an automated sprinkle system that will help a farmer/people to know about his field, and the status of his plant at his home or he may be residing in any part of the world. This work will help the farmers to irrigate the farmland in a very efficient manner with automated irrigation system based on soil, humidity, weather by using DHT 11 sensor, pH sensor. Whenever there is a change in temperature, humidity and current status of rain of the surroundings these sensors sense the change in temperature and humidity and gives an interrupt signal to the raspberry pi. Water excess irrigation not only reduces plants production but also damages soil fertility and also causes ecological hazards like water wasting and salinity. In recent years the awareness of water and energy conversation has resulted in the greater use of sprinkler system. Currently the automation is one of the important roles in the human life. It not only provides comfort but also reduce energy, efficiency and time saving. Now a day the industries are using an automation and control machines which are high in cost and not suitable for using in a farm & garden field. The proposed sprinkler system will be low in cost and usable by the Indian farmers. Raspberry pi is the main heart of the overall system. Here a system is proposed to monitor crop-field using sensors for soil moisture, humidity and temperature. By monitoring these parameters, the irrigation system can be automated if soil moisture is low.
