Automatic irrigation control system using Internet of Things(IoT)

Abstract

The water deficiency for agriculture around India has pushed a need for optimal utilization of it. Internet of Things (IoT) is today’s emerging trend which bridges the gap of real world with the technology. An IoT based automatic irrigation control systems helps in the optimal water utilization for the crop fields. This article proposes an automatic irrigation control system which is based on Internet of Things to predict water requirement of a crop field by processing the wireless sensor network’s (WSN) sensor data like relative humidity, moisture of soil, temperature of soil, and radiation of light (Ultraviolet) along with the Indian Meteorological Department’s weather forecast. Considering the sensed data from the environment with the weather forecasting data, a machine learning algorithm for soil moisture prediction is developed to evaluate the water requirement for a particular area of agricultural land for that crop yield. Real time information of the agriculture landscape is provided through a smart information processing and decision support system which is implemented using schematic web service. This article discusses and describes the system implementation in detail. The results by the automatic irrigation control system based on the soil moisture prediction algorithm are presented. The irrigation control system is completely automated and soil moisture prediction results are nearest to reality.
