Conclusion
There are still a few important sectors in our country where automation has not been
adopted or has not been put to a full-fledged use.
One such field is that of agriculture. Agriculture has been one of the primary occupations of
man since early civilizations and even today manual interventions in farming are inevitable.
Greenhouses form an important part of the agriculture and horticulture sectors in our country
as they can be used to grow plants under controlled climatic conditions for optimum
produce.
Automation is process control of industrial machinery and processes, thereby replacing human
operators.
Over-irrigation because of poor distribution uniformity or management waste water,
chemicals, and may lead to water pollution.
Deep drainage (from over-irrigation) may result in rising water tables which in some
instances will lead to problems of irrigation salinity requiring water table control by some
form of sub-surface land drainage.
Irrigation with saline or high sodium water may damage soil structure owing to the
formation of alkaline.
Ground subsidence
The proposed system is an embedded system
microcontroller and
activators.
. . .
Aim:-
The aim of this project is to design a Solar based automatic intelligent system that can control
the irrigation depending upon the moisture present in the soil.
With the help of mobile phone embedded with an internal modem, user can turn on the
water motors from anywhere in the world
The DTMF keypad can be used to enter the preset values of times, like when to start the
motors and when to stop the motors.
. . .
This project is based on EMBEDDED SYSTEM and GSM
Technology.
When a field is in the dry condition, the sensing logic senses the state
(moisture content) of the field and intimates it to the microcontroller.
. . .
User is intimated by sending a message to the GSM modem which is
placed at the field.
Through our mobile we can switch on-off the motor by sending the
respective commands to the kit through the GSM modem.
Thus the irrigation motor can be controlled through our mobiles using
GSM technology.

A PIC microcontroller is a processor with built in memory and RAM.
It saves you from building a circuit that has separate external RAM, ROM and peripheral
chips.
What this really means for us is that we have a very powerful device that has many useful
EEPROM.
Timers.
Analog comparators.
UART.

Two timers.
An analog comparator.
64 Bytes of RAM.
The information is displayed in two modes which can be selected using a push
button switch which toggles between these two modes.
Any display can be interfaced to the system with respective changes in driver
circuitry and code.

To program PIC Microcontrollers we need several types of computer
software.
Visual studio.
Sensors used have high sensitivity and are easy to handle.
Closed loop design prevents any chances of disturbing the greenhouse environment.
User is indicated for changes in actuator state thereby giving an option for manual override.
The system is more compact compared to the existing ones, hence is easily portable.
Can be used for different plant species by making minor changes in the ambient environmental
parameters.
Can be easily modified for improving the setup and adding new features.
Labour saving.
. . .
Complete automation in terms of pest and insect detection and
eradication cannot be achieved.
Can be modified with the use of a data logger and a graphical LCD
panel
Using this system, one can save manpower, water to improve production
and ultimately profit.
reducing the power consumption, maintenance and complexity, at the same
time providing a flexible and precise form of maintaining the environment.
Also, integration of all these technologies is not a daunting task and can
be successfully carried out.
