Title : AUTOMATED PLANT IRRIGATION SYSTEM WITH SOIL MOISTURE SENSING FOR AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS: 230V WATER PUMP CONTROL AND IOT-BASED MONITORING
K. Manasa 1, Dr. D. Kumara swamy 2

Abstract :

The Raspberry Pi Pico microprocessor is the system's core. It checks the amount of moisture in the soil in real time and carefully manages a 230V water pump so that irrigation can be controlled precisely. The system constantly checks the soil's water level by strategically placing advanced soil moisture sensors. Based on set moisture thresholds, the system starts or stops the water pump automatically. This process makes sure that water resources are used efficiently and increases agricultural productivity by exactly delivering water to plants.The Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring features are built into the system. This means that users can check on soil moisture levels and pump function from afar using a sophisticated web interface or a mobile app. The sensor data is sent to the cloud and carefully analyzed so that deep insights into how to water and check the health of the land can be gained.
