Implementation of IoT-Based Smart Irrigation System for Agricultural Transformation

Our research presents an IOT-based irrigation method for agriculture. IoT is one of the new technologies of the twenty-first century. The agriculture industry is undergoing a transformation because of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is also fixing the tremendous problems or substantial challenges that farmers now face in the field. IoT and wireless connectivity might be helpful and time-saving for farmers. This paper offers a comprehensive review of existing IoT-based applications and research in the agricultural sector. While previous research papers have presented complex devices that can be challenging for farmers to operate and interpret, our proposed system focuses on simplicity and user-friendliness. This irrigation system is designed to be easily understood and used by farmers. The proposed system makes use of an Arduino-UNO, a Bluetooth module, and a soil-moisture sensor. By utilizing an Arduino UNO, our system enables real-time monitoring of various parameters, with a primary focus on soil moisture levels. Recognizing that different plant species have unique water requirements, our proposed system allows farmers to set customized threshold moisture levels for their crops. When the soil moisture falls below the defined threshold, the system activates the motor, initiating the irrigation process. By avoiding both overwatering and underwatering, this system contributes to improved agricultural practices.
