Design and Development of Automatic Soil Moisture Monitoring with Irrigation System for Sustainable Growth in Agriculture

Abstract

In this paper, we are considering the soil moisture, presents in the crop field by using the soil moisture sensor, also sending the real-time data to the mobile through Blynk application and proposed to get information through the internet for the advancement of agriculture, using the Internet of Things (IoT) structure. Here, the motor is used, which gets turned on and off according to the threshold limit settings of the soil moisture sensor. The analog data from the sensor is collected then converted into digital form and further proceed to the application of motor for irrigation in the crop field by NodeMCU to reduce the water wastage. So, we plan to make a low-cost soil moisture monitoring system for agriculture which deals automatically with the motor according to the situation of water level present in the soil as well as send details to the farmer’s mobile.
