DEVELOPMENT OF IOT BASED SMART IRRIGATION FOR AGRICULTURE

Economic status of 70% of the Indian population is based on Agriculture. Due to the lack of rain and water scarcity, Irrigation being the vital part of agriculture has become a predicament which should be solved effectively by using smart technologies. Hence this paper is a study about monitoring the irrigation in the fields using the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). The humidity in the soil and the weather condition around the field are measured using the moisture and the temperature sensors respectively. These factors displayed by the LCD are communicated to the farmer by means of the Wi-Fi module. Thus, the project aims to irrigate the farm with appropriate quantity of water at accurate time thereby have a successful water supply management.
