Abstract :
India is agriculture based nation. It is necessary to improve the productivity and quality of agro based products. The proposed design is an automatic system that aids the famers in irrigation process. It keeps notifying the farmer through an on-board LCD display and messages that is sent on the farmer´s cellular number. This proposed design is also helpful for the farmers who are facing power failure issues to maintain a uniform water supply due to power failure or inadequate and non-uniform water supply. The automatic irrigation system also keeps the farmer updated with all the background activities through a SIM900 Module that sends messages on the registered number. This device can be a turning point for our society. The device is easily affordable by the farmers of the country. This proposed design is helpful for reducing the human labour. This is a low budget system with an essential social application.
