Abstract –

“Automatic plant Irrigation with Arduino” project is useful the countries where economy is depends on agriculture and the climatic conditions lead to lack of rains. There are many devices in India which are operated with physical presence of a human being. irrigating fields is the most important and a very laborious task for the farmers, especially in the summer season. Manual watering increases the difficulty and is time consuming.

Thus, we need effective technologies to overcome these problems. Auto-watering systems can be efficiently used to water plants when needed, which controls when and how much watering needs to be done.

So the purpose of soil moisture monitoring system, is to detect if the moisture content in the soil is above or below a certain satisfactory threshold value. If it goes below a certain critical point, it is time to water the plant until the soil surrounding the plant is moist enough. For large scale implementation, we can use solar panels to conserve energy.
