Abstract:

In this world irrigation of various crops in different regions are indeed playing very dominant and challenging role. Crops yielding is very much dependent on various factors such as ambient temperature, pH value of soil, water level in the field etc. In this research paper the main intention is to improve the yielding of crops by controlling the above parameters using Sensors, Global System for Mobile (GSM) module and with the help of an 8 bit ATMEL microcontroller AT89s52. Another important resource which is required for the irrigation is the water supply which is inter dependent to the fields because the water supply can be from various origins as it can be supplied by the nature (or) from the wells (or) through the rivers (or) from the water pumps using pumping motors. Major cases where the water is being supplied to the fields using water pumps and which in turn requires power as a source to pump the water to the fields. Here the power for the entire system is given using the best photo voltaic cells (PVC) and the irrigation system is monitored autonomously using GSM via microcontroller and various sensors like pH sensor, temperature sensor (LM35), level sensor etc connected to the microcontroller and Vice Versa. In this paper authors have discussed about different sensors utilization in the fields through microcontroller and GSM module. The implementation of the PVC, GSM and control of pumping motor or shunt motor to entire irrigation system is done using embedded C programming and Keil Software in real time.
