LA TIERRA : Soil Moisture Detector With Automatic water Irrigation

In this paper, we present a brief conceptual development of the soil moisture detector with automatic water irrigation system. The oxygen that is provided by proper watering is essential for containergrown plants and trees. Because of inappropriate scheduling or inadequate watering, many people are confused of how to take good care of pricey plants or trees like bonsai. In this case, a computerised system that can recognise when to water plants properly could be useful. In this study, an Arduino microcontroller board with an ATMEGA 328p chip was employed. It has a few sensors built in to monitor lighting, soil moisture, and water level in the plant's pot. The Arduino has been programmed to obtain the sensor's norm, compare it to our predetermined standard threshold, and turn on or off the water pump depending on the needs of the plants. If there is a problem supplying water from the source, the owner will be notified via a message alert system that has been set up. The work presented here is the mini-project work of the 2nd sem students of electronics & communication engineering department of dayananda sagar college of engg., bangalore.
