Automatic humidity monitoring and pumping system for farmers

Abstract: 

The main aim of Automatic Humidity Monitoring and Pumping System for Farmers project is to monitor and record values of humidity of natural environment and to pump the plants water at required humidity level in order to achieve maximum plant growth and yield. This paper main intention is to develop a application where it can collect data about soil conditions with a low cost equipment and less labour involved. It can also possible with the help of a drip irrigation system, through solar power, using vocal commands through the mobile phone and wireless sensor network. This paper also consist wireless sensor network for real time data sensing and control of an irrigation system. This paper also combine the water saving irrigation system is automatic control through the GSM (global system for mobile communication). This paper introduces an automatic module to supply appropriate amount of water to the field by sensing the crop humidity requirement also. It even reduces probability of soil erosion and protects the crop rotting due to over irrigation during heavy rainfall with advanced rainfall unit. This system will be economical in terms of hardware cost and power consumption. It also introduces a humidity sensor and temperature sensor at field where sprinkling has to be done with respect to the quantity of water needed. The circuit monitors the water level of the tank, to prevent dry run and damage to pump. The main purpose of this project is to automate the data acquisition process of the soil conditions and various climatic parameters that govern plant growth allows information to be collected at high frequency with less labour requirements. In this project the design is simple and easy to install. An integrated Liquid crystal display (LCD) is also used for real time display of data acquired from the sensor and the sensor and the status of the device. The design is quite flexible as the software can be changed any time.
