Abstract – India's growing population needs a rapid development in food technology. India's economy is predominantly based on agriculture. Water is an important resource for agriculture. Water quality management of freshwater resources is extremely important. Appropriate irrigation systems can be used to conserve water and increase crop yields. As we all know, drip irrigation is economical and efficient. Traditional drip irrigation systems are controlled and monitored by farmers. This article presents an automatic water filling system that is controlled and monitored using an ARM7 processor. The sensors are used to monitor the moisture content of the soil and automatically turn on or off at various times depending on the system's valves. It is also important to consider the pH of the soil because it affects the availability of nutrients in the soil, sensors are used to measure the pH of the soil and based on the pH good feedback is given to the farmers to maintain the proper pH. Nitrogen is an important macro element in soil. It is an important nutrient for plant growth. Sensors are used to detect soil nitrogen levels and based on current nitrogen levels, farmers are given advice to control nitrogen levels as needed. It is a important nutrient compound for plant growth. Sensor to detect the soil nitrogen content is used and depending upon the available nitrogen content suggestions are given to the farmer maintain nitrogen level as per requirement.
