    Project On Food Security: Automatic Control of Agricultural Pump Measuring Soil Moisture Level

    Uploaded by

    Pravat Satpathy
    The document describes a project on food security that offers students research opportunities in public health and development studies by introducing them to recent research and methodologies. It focuses on improving agricultural production through better water management, access to inputs and services, and capacity building for user groups. It also describes an automatic system to control agricultural pumps by measuring soil moisture levels using sensors, a controller, and a relay driver circuit to intelligently switch the pump on and off depending on whether the soil is dry or wet.

    PROJECT ON FOOD SECURITY

    The Project on Food Security, Nutrition, and Sustainable Development offers


    students a unique research opportunity in their field of interest in comparative and
    international studies. In this course, students are introduced to recent research and
    become familiar with the methodologies employed in public health and
    development studies

    Improvement of agricultural production through improved water control, access to


    inputs and services
    A set of activities will focus on
    (i) the rehabilitation of canals and dikes and relevelling
    of plots in irrigated areas, including tidal irrigation and upland areas;
    (ii) the creation of smallholder horticultural gardens (equipped with boreholes,
    solar pumps and fencing); and
    (iii) capacity building of garden committees and user groups in organisational
    management, infrastructures maintenance, water control

    AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF AGRICULTURAL PUMP MEASURING SOIL


    MOISTURE LEVEL

    In the field of AUTOMATION, use of proper method of agricultural pump


    appliances is important because the main reason is intelligent operation and use of
    modern technology. Also it reduces human effort and may be widely used for
    Vegetable agricultural fields which requires frequent water supply with day to day
    changing temperature
    The circuit comprises of sensor parts built using op-amp IC LM393. Op-amps are
    configured here as a comparator. A water level sensor is inserted in the soil to sense
    whether the soil is wet or dry. The controller is used to control the whole system by
    monitoring the sensors and when sensors sense the dry soil condition then the
    controller will send command to relay driver IC the contacts of which are used to
    switch on the load and it will switch off the load when all the sensors are in wet
    water condition. The controller does the above job as it receives the signal from the
    sensors through the output of the SENSOR,
    This is safest and no manpower is required. This is very useful to all climatic
    conditions and it is economic friendly.
