 Abstract:

Due to the enhancement of sensing technology in recent years, the researcher community embedding it to solve the real-life problems of physical and environmental types. Smart technology needs to be embedded in agriculture and farming to increase the crop to get more economic benefits. Agriculture and farming is core occupation since the human being start living on the earth, and with the passage of time, it is being modernized by using technologies for forming purposes. In the last half-century, due to modernization in technology along with electronics, the way of farming has been modernized and still in progress. Internet of Things (IoT) gives a new aspect in the field of smart farming and agriculture domain. With the use of a smart sensor system embedded with IoT, it revolutionized the way of farming and crop management and made it easy to monitor the agriculture farms. For improving the product and increasing the yield, temperature, moisture, humidity, and pest control are key components to be monitored and controlled. In this research work, an automatic Plant Irrigation System is proposed, which embedded smart sensor systems and IoT for the purpose of monitoring and managing the farm, which automatically provides water to plants and keeps updated by generating a message. In the proposed framework, several features are embedded, e.g., remote monitoring, intruder caring, temperature, and moisture sensing, security, leaf wetness, and irrigation facilities. To control these parameters via IoT, the system is connected with a remote device by interfacing a sensor system with a microcontroller. The proposed system is simulated, and the results are presented in the latter part of this paper, which is very much satisfied for further enhancement of this research work.
