Smart Agricultural Crop Monitoring Water Irrigation Using IOT

This document proposes a smart agricultural crop monitoring system using IoT. It aims to overcome the limitations of traditional irrigation systems which cannot compensate for heterogeneous water needs across turf areas. The proposed system uses sprinkler nodes that can sense local soil moisture, communicate wirelessly, and control their own sprinklers based on a central schedule. An optimization model is developed to compute moisture movement and minimize water consumption while improving plant health. Tests of the system showed it could reduce water usage by 23.4% compared to traditional systems and 12.3% compared to ET systems, returning the investment within 16-18 months through water savings alone.

Smart Agricultural Crop Monitoring water

Irrigation using IOT


Abstract:

Lawns make up the largest irrigated crop by surface area in North America, and carry with it a
demand for over 9 billion gallons of freshwater each day. Despite recent developments in
irrigation control and sprinkler technology, state-of-the-art irrigation systems do nothing to
compensate for areas of turf with heterogeneous water needs. In this work, weovercome the
physical limitations of the traditional irrigation system with the development of a sprinkler node
that can sense the local soil moisture, communicate wirelessly, and actuate its own sprinkler
based on a centrally-computed schedule. A model is then developed to compute moisture
movement from runoff, absorption, and diffusion. Integrated with an optimization framework,
optimal valve scheduling can be found for each node in the space. In a turf area covering over
10,000ft2, two separate deployments spanning a total of 7 weeks show that MAGIC can reduce
water consumption by 23.4% over traditional campus scheduling, and by 12.3% over state-of-the
artevapotranspiration systems, while substantially improvingconditions for plant health. In
addition to environmental, social,and health benefits, MAGIC is shown to return its investment
in16-18 months based on water consumption alone.
Existing System Proposed System

In the existing system robot can be operated In the proposed system robot can be operated
only in the manual mode. So it is difficult to in both automatic and the manual mode. So
perform in automatic operations where it that by using this two mode, vast operations
doesn’t require humans can be performed.
Drawbacks of existing system: Advantages of proposed system:
 It cannot be operated automatically  It can be operated automatically.
 Less operations can be performed using  More operations can be performed
robot using Automation
 It’s not user friendly  Has intelligence to avoid flooding of
field
 By using IOT we can the monitor

Working principle:
To attain our proposed system need to use Arduino uno, controller to monitor the field. In
this temperature sensor, humidity sensor, water level sensor is used to monitor the field
environment and flooding of the fields.. The PIR sensor is used to identify the animals enter into
the field. PIR (intruder detecting system) and pressure sensors are connected to the input pins of arduino
microcontroller Nutrition sensor used to identify soilController status and everything is displayed
In IOT. The whole process is controlled by microcontroller. If the sensed value goes beyond the
threshold values set in the program, the pump will be automatically switched ON/OFF by the relay circuit
and it is connected to the driver circuit which helps to switch the voltage. The farmer will be intimated
about the current field condition through GSM module or IOT .
