Water is an essential resource in agriculture and its optimal management plays a major role. The important objective of this paper is to provide an automated irrigation system to minimize the utilization of in agriculture by combining the advanced technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), optimization tools and cloud computing. This automatic irrigation system installs low cost sensors to sense variables of interest such as soil moisture, soil type, and weather conditions. The data obtained is then directly stored in the web page and can be monitored using mobile or through Pc. The data from the field is transmitted to the cloud using global system for mobile communication (GSM) cellular networks. Then an optimization model is used to compute the optimal irrigation rate which is automated using a solenoid valve controlled by Pic microcontroller. The previous variables of interest are stored in the cloud and accessible as a service to the agronomists. This proposed approach is demonstrated on a pilot scale cultivated capability and our results demonstrate the reduced water utilization, data-availability improvement and picturing

Internet of things is a unique worldwide network that can sense and interact with the environment by means of the internet for the communication and interaction between user and other system. Agriculture plays an important role in the growth of a country like India. As population increases day by day, there is a demand of more food. To get good production in fields, irrigation is necessary for healthy crop. Irrigation is also necessary for the soaking up of nutrients by plants from the soil and improves food security. In our country, India many farmers still use the traditional methods of farming. In India most of the irrigation systems are manually operated by farmers. Farmer suffers from irrigation problem due to improper water utilization, erosion and cutting of cannels. These outdated techniques can be replaced with automated techniques using IOT. In IOT based smart agriculture a system is built for controlling and monitoring the crop fields with the help of sensors and automating the irrigation system. Smart agriculture includes smart irrigation based on accurate real time field data like moisture in soil, environment temperature and water level. This system is used to avoid the direct human intervention while implementing the low cost sensors and Internet of things (IOT).

A prototype soil moisture based an automated irrigation system were developed at National Maize Research Program in 2018 to study the water requirement of drought tolerant crop genotype. The irrigation system has been controlled by Arduino UNO as a micro controller. The instant soil moisture data were collected either in Excel format or graphical format using internet of things through the programming of Global System for Mobile Communication: Subscriber Identity Module (GSM:SIM card) of Nepal Telecom. The developed automated irrigation system has found maintained the predetermined threshold soil moisture. This automated irrigation system has been developed to make applicable for drip irrigation system which has operated at low water pressure maintained by 1.5² professional-grade solenoid valve. The introduction of this automated irrigation system has developed the base for Nepalese agricultural scientist in designing and promoting irrigation technology to make Nepalese agricultural more sustainable, mechanized and productive.

Agriculture plays the vital role in economics and survival of people in India. Nowadays Indian agriculture faces a two major problem. We know the government has promoted a free supply of electricity to farmers for irrigation purpose to run their motors and pumps. But it is found that the farmers misusing the electricity to run their home appliances such as radio, TV, fans, and etc. This misuse of electricity has brought a considerable problem for government to supply free electricity. The main objective of this project is to design low cost Automated Irrigation System using a Wireless Sensor Network and GPRS Module. The main aim of this project is to provide embedded based system for irrigation to reduce the manual monitoring of the field and GPRS gives their information. This proposed system recognizes whether the free electricity has been used excluding electric motors for pumping water and if so electricity is being misused, it shuts the total stockpile for the farmers through a tripping circuit. By using wireless networks we can intimate the electricity board about this mal convention. The development of this project at experimental level within rural areas is presented and the implementation has to exhibit that the automatic irrigation can be used.


This work focuses on the impact of climate change on agriculture water for sugarcane crop of Gujarat region and alternatively, IoT (Internet of Things) technology to be proposed for decision making and irrigating water requirement of the crop. Agriculture is a major source of income for Indians and Agribusiness has a major effect on India's economy. Sugarcane is an important crop utilized for bioenergy and sugar. It is one of the world's major crops that for the most part develop in the tropic and subtropic areas. Climate and atmosphere related occasions such as development condition of atmospheric CO2 , temperature, rainfall, and other extraordinary weather conditions are the key components for sugarcane production around the world. So reasonable conditions and appropriate moisture in beds of the crop can play a noteworthy job for crop production. Generally, irrigation of sugarcane crop is done by conventional techniques in which stream flows from end to end. The organization of the irrigation framework can be upgraded using automated watering structure. In this paper automation of irrigation system using soil moisture sensors and solenoid valves has been proposed. For implementing the system Arduino Uno and Esp8266 Node MCU microcontrollers have been proposed for gathering information from soil moisture sensor, and operations of solenoid valves and water pump
