 ABSTRACT

The project is designed to develop an automatic irrigation system which switches the pump
motor ON/OFF on sensing the moisture content of the soil. In the field of agriculture, use of
proper method of irrigation is important. The advantage of using this method is to reduce human
intervention and still ensure proper irrigation. The project uses an 8051 series microcontroller
which is programmed to receive the input signal of varying moisture condition of the soil
through the sensing arrangement. This is achieved by using an op-amp as comparator which acts
as interface between the sensing arrangement and the microcontroller. Once the controller
receives this signal, it generates an output that drives a relay for operating the water pump. An
LCD display is also interfaced to the microcontroller to display status of the soil and water
pump. All Devices Controlled By Aurdino. Proposed design is fully automated. No need of
monitoring always. Soil sensor is for moisture sensing, it will send signal to aurdino. Aurdino
based device will turn on irrigation system. Moisture sensor senses the water-level and it sends
information to aurdino and aurdino initiate Bluetooth-module for transmitting message to owner
and give the current status of soil-moisture. After receiving message user can send back message
to turn on motor. If tank is full then water sensor gives signal to aurdino and it turn off motor.”
