The agricultural sector plays a significant role in the economy of many countries, and irrigation is a critical component of successful agriculture. However, traditional irrigation methods can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and often result in the over or under-watering of crops, which can negatively impact crop yields. To overcome these challenges, smart irrigation systems have been developed to assist farmers in managing their crops and increasing their yield. This research article presents an IoT-based smart irrigation system that uses four sensors - moisture content, temperature, humidity, and ultrasonic - to collect data from the irrigation area and transmit it to a central control system. The central control system uses the data to automatically turn the irrigation pump on and off, based on the moisture level of the soil. The system also includes a mobile application that allows farmers to monitor the system remotely and control the motor pump from their smartphones. The proposed system has several advantages, including reducing the hard work of farmers, providing essential strength to crops, and ensuring that plants receive the adequate amount of water at the required time. Additionally, the system's remote monitoring capabilities allow farmers to monitor the atmospheric temperature, humidity, and moisture content from anywhere at any time, and make adjustments as necessary. Overall, the findings of this research will help farmers to control their irrigation systems remotely, reduce labor costs, and increase crop yields. By improving the efficiency of irrigation and reducing water waste, this IoT-based smart irrigation system has the potential to significantly impact the agriculture sector and promote sustainable farming practices.
