Automatic Plant Watering System

This document describes an automatic plant watering system using an Arduino. The system monitors soil moisture using a sensor and turns on a water pump if the soil is dry. An Arduino controls the system based on input from the sensor. It displays the soil and water tank status on an LCD screen. The system aims to automatically water plants as needed without manual labor. Key components are an Arduino, soil moisture sensor, water pump, relay module, and LCD display.

AUTOMATIC PLANT

WATERING SYSTEM USING


ARDUINO


TEAM MEMBERS
MUHAMMAD HHASEEB. (21-ARID-1421)

OBJECTIVE

• MONITOR THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE SOIL USING A SOIL


MOISTURE SENSOR.
• TURN THE MOTOR ON WHEN THE SOIL MOISTURE FALLS
BELOW A CERTAIN REFERENCE VALUE AND IF THERE IS ENOUGH
WATER IN THE TANK.
• DISPLAY THE STATUS OF THE SOIL AND THE TANK USING A 16×
2 LCD.
COMPONENTS

• ARDUINO UNO
• CONNECTING WIRES
• LCD (OPTIONAL)
• POWER SUPPLY 12V
• RELAY 5V
• WATER COOLER PUMP
• SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR 
• VOLTAGE REGULATOR
(OPTIONAL)

WORKING

 IN THIS PLANT WATERING SYSTEM, SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR CHECKS THE


MOISTURE LEVEL IN THE SOIL AND IF MOISTURE LEVEL IS LOW THEN
ARDUINO SWITCHES ON A WATER PUMP TO PROVIDE WATER TO THE PLANT.
 WATER PUMP GETS AUTOMATICALLY OFF WHEN SYSTEM FINDS ENOUGH
MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.
WORKING (CONT..)

 WORKING OF THIS AUTOMATIC PLANT IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS


QUITE SIMPLE. FIRST OF ALL, IT IS A COMPLETELY AUTOMATED
SYSTEM AND THERE IS NO NEED OF MANPOWER TO CONTROL
THE SYSTEM.
 ARDUINO IS USED FOR CONTROLLING THE WHOLE PROCESS.

WORKING (CONT..)
• IF MOISTURE IS LESS PRESENT IN SOIL THEN TRANSISTOR REMAINS IN
TRIGGERED/ON STATE AND ARDUINO PIN REMAINS LOW.
• WHEN ARDUINO READS LOW SIGNAL AT PIN, THEN IT SEND MESSAGE TO LCD
SCREEN ABOUT “SOIL MOISTURE IS NORMAL. MOTOR TURNED OFF” AND
WATER PUMP REMAINS IN OFF STATE.
• NOW IF THERE IS NO MOISTURE IN SOIL THEN TRANSISTOR BECOMES OFF AND
PIN BECOMES HIGH.
• THEN ARDUINO READS THE PIN AND TURNS ON THE WATER MOTOR AND ALSO
SENDS MESSAGE TO LCD SCREEN MOTOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF
WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.

ARDUINO

• ARDUINO IS AN OPEN-SOURCE PLATFORM
U S ED F OR BU I L D I N G EL EC T R ON I C S
PROJECTS.
• A RD U INO C ONS IS TS OF BOT H A
PHYSICAL PROGRAMM ABLE CIRCUIT
BOARD AND A PIECE OF SOFTWARE, OR
IDE THAT RUNS ON YOUR COMPUTER,
USED TO WRITE AND UPLOAD COMPUTER
CODE TO THE PHYSICAL BOARD.
• IN ORDER TO LOAD NEW CODE ONTO THE
BOARD – WE CAN SIMPLY USE A USB
CABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE ARDUINO IDE
USES A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF C++

SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR

• SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR IS A SIMPLE


B RE AKO UT FO R ME ASURI NG THE
MO I STURE I N SO I L AND SI MI LAR
MATERIALS.
• THE SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR IS PRETTY
STRAIGHT FORWARD TO USE. THE TWO
LARGE EXPOSED PADS FUNCTION AS
PROBES FOR THE SENSOR, TOGETHER
ACTING AS A VARIABLE RESISTOR.
• THE MORE WATER THAT IS IN THE SOIL
MEANS THE BETTER THE CONDUCTIVITY
BETWEEN THE PADS WILL BE AND WILL
RESULT IN A LOWER RESISTANCE, AND A
HIGHER SIG OUT.
APPLICATIONS

• IRRIGATION IN FIELDS
• IRRIGATION IN GARDENS, PARKS ETC
• EFFICIENT FOR PADDY, RICE FIELDS ETC
• PISCICULTURE


ADVANTAGES

 HIGHLY SENSITIVE, LOW COST AND RELIABLE


 WORKS ACCORDING TO SOIL CONDITION
 COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF MAN POWER
 CAN HANDLE HEAVY LOADS
 AUTOMATICALLY FERTIGATE CROPS
( FERTILIZE + IRRIGATE = FERTIGATE)
