1) Objective:
To build an automatic crop irrigation system based on microcontroller ATMEGA8L which can interact with farmers by a mean of Smart Device. (Here we used Laptop).

2) Need for Automation:

Agriculture is one of the fields where water is required in tremendous quantity. Wastage of water is major problem in agriculture. Every time excess of water is given to the fields. There are many techniques to save or to control wastage of water from agriculture. Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the soil. It is usually used to assist the growing of crops in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. Different types of irrigation systems are used for management of water in agricultural land. Automatic irrigation systems are convenient, especially for those who travel. If installed and programmed properly, automatic irrigation systems can even save you money and help in water conservation. Dead lawn grass and plants need to be replaced, and that can be expensive. But the savings from automatic irrigation systems can go beyond that. Watering with a hose or with oscillator wastes water. Neither method targets plant roots with any significant degree of precision. Automatic irrigation systems can be programmed to discharge more precise amounts of water in a targeted area, which promotes water conservation.

4) Descriptions of components used

4.1) Arduino Development Board (ATMEGA8) Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).

Below is the pin mapping for the Atmega8, the original chip used in early Arduinos

4.2) Depth sensors Here we have used metal pins for sensing depth of field. 4.3) Temperature Sensor (LM 35) It has an output voltage that is proportional to the Celsius temperature. The scale factor is .01V/oC The LM35 does not require any external calibration or trimming and maintains an accuracy of +/-0.4 oC at room temperature and +/0.8 oC over a range of 0 oC to +100 oC. Another important characteristic of the LM35DZ is that it draws only 60 micro amps from its supply and possesses a low self-heating capability. The sensor self-heating causes less than 0.1 oC temperature rise in still air.

4.4) L293D MOTOR DRIVING IC L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver integrated circuit (IC). Motor drivers act as current amplifiers since they take a low-current control signal and provide a higher-current signal. This higher current signal is used to drive the motors. L293D contains two inbuilt H-bridge driver circuits. In its common mode of operation, two DC motors can be driven simultaneously, both in forward and reverse direction. The motor operations of two motors can be controlled by input logic at pins 2 & 7 and 10 & 15. Input logic 00 or 11 will stop the corresponding motor. Logic 01 and 10 will rotate it in clockwise and anticlockwise directions, respectively. Enable pins 1 and 9 (corresponding to the two motors) must be high for motors to start operating. When an enable input is high, the associated 9

driver gets enabled. As a result, the outputs become active and work in phase with their inputs. Similarly, when the enable input is low, that driver is disabled, and their outputs are off and in the high-impedance state.

4.5) Voltage regulator ICs 7805 and 7809 7805 and 7809 are the voltage regulator integrated circuit. It is a member of 78xx series of fixed linear voltage regulator ICs. The voltage source in a circuit may have fluctuations and would not give the fixed voltage output. The voltage regulator IC maintains the output voltage at a constant value. The xx in 78xx indicates the fixed output voltage it is designed to provide. 7805 provides +5V regulated power supply whereas 7809 provides +9V regulated power supply. Capacitors of suitable values can be connected at input and output pins depending upon the respective voltage levels.

6) Working
The depth sensor will sense depth up too which water is present in the field and temperature sensor will sense temperature of the field. If level of water in the field drops beyond certain level than the output of the sensor will go high, If temperature is in the proper range and suitable for irrigation, then microcontroller will provide high output to motor driving IC. Hence motor will start drawing water from the nearby source. When proper amount of water (as required for particular crop) is drawn by motor then automatically microcontroller will cut supply from the motor as the result proper amount of water will be given to the crop.

7) Software and Final PCB layout

Software programming language used Arduino int a= 8; int b = 9; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(a, INPUT); pinMode(b, OUTPUT); } void loop() { int c= digitalRead(a); int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); if (c==LOW) { digitalWrite(b, HIGH); delay(50); Serial.print("\n MORE WATER IS NEEDED "); Serial.print("\t\t STANDARD TEMPERATURE=20-25 degree "); Serial.print("\t\t STANDARD DEPTH= 2.4 cm "); } if (c==HIGH) { digitalWrite(b, LOW); delay(50); Serial.print("\n NO MORE WATER IS NEEDED NOW "); Serial.print("\n THANK YOU FOR WATCHING "); } float voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0)*10; if( voltage > 25) { digitalWrite(b, LOW); Serial.print("\t\t NOT PROPER TEMPERATURE "); } Serial.print("\t\t temperature in degree celcius= "); Serial.println(voltage); { delay(5000);} }

9) Conclusions and Advantages:

SGSITS,

The system provides with several benefits and can operate with less manpower. The system supplies water only when the humidity in the soil goes below the reference. Due to the direct transfer of water to the roots water conservation takes place and also helps to maintain the moisture to soil ratio at the root zone constant to some extend. Thus, the system is efficient and compatible to the changing environment. Advantages 1. Saves water - Studies show that drip irrigation systems use 30 - 50% less water than conventional watering methods, such as sprinklers. 2. Improves growth - Smaller amounts of water applied over a longer amount of time provide ideal growing conditions. Drip irrigation extends watering times for plants, and prevents soil erosion and nutrient runoff. Also, because the flow is continuous, water penetrates deeply into the soil to get well down into the root zone. 3. Discourages weeds - Water is only delivered where it's needed. 4. Saves time - Setting and moving sprinklers is not required. A timer delay as per environment can be added to the system for automatic watering. 5. Helps control fungal diseases, which grow quickly under moist conditions. Also, wet foliage can spread disease. 6. Adaptable - A drip irrigation system can be modified easily to adjust to the changing needs of a garden or lawn. 7. Simplest Method - Start by drawing a map of your garden and yard, showing the location of plantings. Measure the distances required for lengths of hose or plastic tubing to reach the desired areas. With a numerous fields of application and various advantages of the system has made it one of the major option available for the farmers. The increasing interest in this area of research may bring about more and more consumer efficient system. Water scarcity the major problem is well handled by the system. The changing climatic condition and global warming issues prevailing throughout the world can be overcome only through this system. The automatic irrigation system will be every farmers choice in a decade or so. The improper advertising was the sole reason for the late adoption and acquaintance of the system that took place in the late eighties. But with the awareness spreading all over the globe the system is earning acceptance and so, a number of scientist are investing their time to perfect the system.
