Automated Plant Irrigation System and Monitoring System

Abstract

The objective of project is hinged on two essential features (the time and the amount of water pressure). The automated plant irrigation and monitoring system was created efficiently get things done for farmers. This capstone project used an Arduino Board. The features of the system are based on identified needs of Ladroma's Farmland, situated in Banagbanag, Montevista, and Davao De Oro. The system was configured to measure the following (temperature, humidity, water level, soil moisture and control the flow of water) either manually or automatically. Moreover, it can also sense soil moisture and supply the exact amount of water needed. The system aims to set up a wireless sensor network to monitor the soil moisture which will send information to the system to start the water pump if the soil dries up. Furthermore, the proposed irrigation system will reduce the hassle of looking after plants. Thus, improving farmer efficiency. The system will also provide a real-time monitoring status relative to plant irrigation.
