ABSTRACT

In this paper we summarize the importance of healthy irrigation practices with the help of IOT controlled systems. With advanced farming techniques backed by today’s advanced scientific methodologies, the frequency of crop production has increased and with that we have over used the resources required for production. The Smart Systems would assist in increasing the production of crops and promote sustainable resource utilization which in turn optimizes the timing and volume of water distribution in the fields. The proposed systems are flexible in nature that would enable us to either increase or decrease the scale for which it would be applied hence targeting both the casual backyard farmers and professional farmers. Our proposed system is simple enough to be used by a farmer with minimal technical knowledge.
