DESIGN OF AUTOMATED IRRIGATION SYSTEM USING SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR AND RTC TIMER

India is the second largest producer of wheat and rice, the world’s major food staples. India is currently the world’s second largest producer of several dry fruits, agriculture-based textile raw materials, roots and tuber crops. The development of crops for a better yield and quality deliver is exceptionally required. So suitable conditions and suitable moisture in beds of crops can play a major role for production. Mostly irrigation is done by tradition methods of stream flows from one end to other. Such supply may leave varied moisture levels in field. The administration of the water system can be enhanced utilizing programmed watering framework. This paper proposes a programmed water system with framework for the terrains which will reduce manual labour and optimizing water usage increasing productivity of crops. For formulating the setup, Arduino kit is used with moisture sensor with Wi-Fi module. Our experimental setup is connected with cloud framework and data is acquisition is done. Then data is analyzed by cloud services and appropriate recommendations are given.
