Abstract

India is the country of villages and farmers. More than 51% people in India are depended on the farming and other associated processing. Being associated with large number of people and dependency of nation on this sector makes it most important sector for India. The problems associated with farmers are uneven distribution of rain in country, situations like flood and drought due to lack of rain has occurred in the countries at a time in different regions. On the other hand the available water is not used effectively by the farmers in lack of awareness. To overcome this situation, we have developed an automatic irrigation system suitable for Indian farmers. This system detects the moisture level of the soil using sensors and according to this level the water supply of crop is controlled. To reduce the cost for running of this setup, we have proposed the use of solar energy for irrigation of farm.
