Sustainable Cultivation with Arduino Support: Green Guard's Intelligent Irrigation System

Abstract

The Arduino-based Automatic Irrigation System is a smart and cost-effective solution to modernizing agricultural methods. The device automates the irrigation process by integrating Arduino microcontrollers and soil moisture sensors, ensuring crops receive ideal water levels. Water pumps that activate when soil moisture falls below a predetermined level minimize the need for manual intervention, saving farmers time. This computerized technique not only improves efficiency but also promotes sustainable agriculture by accurately regulating water supplies. The application of technology into irrigation operations demonstrates potential benefits for modern, environmentally conscious farming. The article describes a low-cost Arduino-based equipment that improves irrigation efficiency by using a soil moisture sensor. An Arduino-UNO with an ADC converter, a soil moisture sensor, a real-time LCD display, and a water pumping motor are all part of the system. This comprehensive system handles both water scarcity and surplus water issues, resulting in improved farming practices. The low-cost Arduino-based solution may optimize the irrigation process, making a significant contribution to the agriculture sector's technological growth.
