Design and implementation of an automatic irrigation feedback control system based on monitoring of soil moisture

This paper deals with the development in agricultural activities like irrigation, soil temperature and moisture measurement using digital technologies and wireless sensors. Water is the heart of irrigation system and shortage of water is a growing issue for farmers. Water quantity needs to be checked for better productivity and sustainability of crops. Water regulation for different crops is different as insufficient or excessive water can be destructive for farming. An automatic wireless sensor based Irrigation Water Regulation support system is being developed. The proposed system estimates the water requirement for crops on the basis of soil moisture data gathered by several sensor nodes deployed in the field. Automation proved time and cost effective in a manner which is of great boon to the industry and as well as for entrepreneur in all the dimensions.
