Abstract

Agriculture is a critical factor that impacts a country's economy. The agriculture sector uses 70% of the available fresh water. There are challenges in water management and irrigation scheduling that require resolution. Farmers are using traditional irrigation methods that use a lot of water with low water efficiency. Smart irrigation and farm management technology is crucial to sustainable agriculture, as it saves water and provides farmers with more information about crop water requirements. However, managing irrigation water is a complex task that depends on factors such as soil, weather, and environment. Robust modeling is necessary to accurately estimate the water requirements of a crop. In this we developed a smart irrigation model to automate the irrigation system according to water requirements of crops. To estimate the water requirements of crops a review was done on different crop water requirements and crops features. To develop the automated irrigation system an analysis is done on different irrigation methods, irrigation scheduling and requirements of irrigation scheduling. The proposed system is used to automated irrigation system and real time data is sent to think speak server for regular monitoring. The developed automated irrigation system is working up to expectations and help farmers to control the irrigation and conserve water by avoiding over irrigation.
