Abstract :
Recent advances in technology and wireless sensor networks made new trends to emerge in agriculture sector. One such new trend is Precision Agriculture(PA). This paper presents an automatic Irrigation Controller for precision agriculture. The irrigation controller regulates the desired moisture level in agricultural soil by making the irrigation pump on or off based on the sensor readings. This controller efficiently monitors moisture level in soil and proves efficient in both dry and heavy rainfall conditions.
