This paper developed a Soil Moisture Forecasting (SMF) model and a Constant-moisture Automatic Irrigation System (CAIS). The SMF model used the soil moisture data at different depths in an experimental plot inside a greenhouse to infer the soil moisture level after a specific interval. CAIS integrated the SMF data with dynamic watering interval adaption to maintain soil moisture at a constant level. Most intelligent irrigation products incur high installation costs that farmers cannot afford. CAIS used a low-cost component to achieve the same functionality that is found in intelligent irrigation products. Most low-cost irrigation systems water the plants from a single point that may lead to variable soil moisture if the terrain or the soil density is uneven. CAIS divided the experimental plot into multiple virtual planting areas (VPAs) and dynamically adapted the watering interval of each VPA to balance the soil moisture of the whole experimental plot. Results showed that the forecasting error of the SMF model was less than 12 moisture levels over a scale of 1024 levels. Furthermore, CAIS maintained the soil moisture of the whole experimental plot at a constant level within ±5 error points with multiple watering points.

The parameters require for maintaining the crop's health and the integrity of the irrigation system has a relation with quality of irrigation water. In Micro irrigation appropriate filtration is very much important to prevent clogging. Filtration unit is one of the main components in micro irrigation system that too, Primary filter is more important to be installed along with the unit, when the water source is from open reservoir and other water sources. Though it is essential, the primary filter is not being installed by the farmers due to its high cost. Hence this study is an attempt to fabricate low-cost filter and to evaluate its performance with different filter media layer. A low-cost primary filter for drip irrigation system is fabricated. Different filter media layer like silex sand (fine silex, coarse silex), pebbles with different sizes are selected. The results revealed that the removal efficiency of filter using silex sand and pebbles were 71% in terms of turbidity, 78% in terms of total suspended solids removal at flow rate of 12 m3 /hr. This fabricated low-cost filter will be cost effective for small farm applications.

Abstract: In Because of the lack of rains and scarcity of land reservoir water, proper irrigation methods are critical in the field of agriculture. The continuous extraction of water from the earth is lowering the water level, causing a lot of land to slowly come into the unirrigated zones. Another important reason for this is because of unplanned water use, which wastes a significant amount of water. This automatic plant irrigation system is used for this purpose. Solar energy is used to power the system via photovoltaic cells. As a result, there is no need to rely on erratic commercial power. In this digital age, we demand that everything around us be automated, reducing human effort. Electronic circuits are becoming more prevalent, making life easier and simpler in today's world. Energy and water scarcity are two major issues that everyone is dealing with these days. As a result, energy and water conservation are required. The goal is to create a solar-powered prototype that will automatically irrigate the field. Consider how convenient it will be to be able to focus on your next task while your field is being irrigated automatically and at a low cost. No worries about underirrigation or over-irrigation, water waste or expensive electricity, or your busy schedule.
