A Real time implementation of a GSM based
Automated Irrigation Control System using Drip
Irrigation Methology
[attachment=66606]
Abstract
— The green house based modern agriculture industries are the recent requirement in every part of agriculture in India. In this
technology, the humidity and temperature of plants are precisely controlled. Due to the variable atmospheric circumstances these
conditions sometimes may vary from place to place in large farmhouse, which makes very difficult to maintain the uniformity at all the
places in the farmhouse manually. Therefore we present in this paper, to the best of our knowledge for the first time a GSM based
Irrigation Control System, which could give the facilities of maintaining uniform environmental conditions. For this, a software stack called
Android is used for mobile devices that include an operating system, middleware and key applications. The Android SDK provides the tools
and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language. Mobile phones have
almost become an integral part of us serving multiple needs of humans. This application makes use of the GPRS feature of mobile phone
as a solution for irrigation control system.
INTRODUCTION
N the modern drip irrigation systems, water is supplied
near the root zone of the plants drip by drip due to which a
large quantity of water is saved. At the present era, the
farmers have been using irrigation technique in India through
the manual control in which the farmers irrigate the land at
the regular intervals. This process sometimes consumes more
water or sometimes the water reaches late due to which the
crops get dried. Water deficiency can be detrimental to plants
before visible wilting occurs. Slowed growth rate, lighter
weight fruit follows slight water deficiency. This problem can
be perfectly rectified if we use automatic microcontroller
based drip irrigation system in which the irrigation will take
place only when there will be intense requirement of water.
CONCLUSION
Conventional Flood-type methods consume a large amount of water, but
the area between crop rows remains dry and receive moisture only from
the incidental rainfall, hand pumps or canal waters whereas the drip
irrigation technique slowly applies a small amount of water to the
plant's root zone.
