Automatic Sprinkler in Controlled Atmosphere

Abstract

This paper proposes a cost-effective smart sprinkler irrigation system for farmers to use in farm divisions. Automation plays a crucial role in modern life, providing comfort, increasing efficiency, and saving time. However, most industries use expensive automation and control mechanisms that may not be suitable for our needs. Watering the plants is the most significant cultural activity and one of the most labor-intensive duties in the daily operation of the greenhouse. Watering systems reduce the burden of delivering water to plants when they require it. Knowing when and how much to water are two critical components of the watering process. The purpose of the automatic plant watering system is to simplify gardening. These days, there are shortages of food and water because of population growth. We must support the agriculture industry in order to prevent the issue. The farming industry wastes more water. We can conserve water by employing this kind of technique when irrigating the fields. Sprinkler systems, tubes, nozzles, and other parts are used in a variety of automatic watering system types. This technique irrigates the plants in the pots using a watering sprinkler system. This project uses relay, Arduino and moisture sensor which consists of ATmega328 Microcontroller. Then Arduino works as per instruction of moisture sensor and system control. It is programmed in such a way that it will sense the moisture level of the soil, plants and supply the water when required. This type of system is commonly used for general plant maintenance, both in small and large gardens. Normally, plants should be watered twice a day, in the morning and evening. So, the microcontroller must be programmed to water the plants in the garden or farm twice every day. People like plants for their health benefits and the satisfaction that comes with caring for them. However, most people find it difficult to stay healthy and living. To address this difficulty, we created a prototype that allows a plant to irrigate itself from a big water tank and get artificial sunshine. The prototype displays the status of its present circumstances and advises the user to refill the water tank. The system created an automatic Plant watering system to minimize manual activities and making gardener’s work easier.
