This document describes an automatic plant watering system using an Arduino that monitors soil moisture levels using a sensor. When the soil moisture falls below a threshold, the Arduino activates a water pump to provide water. It displays the soil and water tank status on an LCD screen. The system aims to efficiently water plants by only running the pump when needed, conserving water and reducing manual labor.

AUTOMATIC PLANT

WATERING SYSTEM USING


ARDUINO
OBJECTIVE

• MONITOR THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE SOIL USING A


SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR.
• TURN THE MOTOR ON WHEN THE SOIL MOISTURE FALLS
BELOW A CERTAIN REFERENCE VALUE AND IF THERE IS
ENOUGH WATER IN THE TANK.
• DISPLAY THE STATUS OF THE SOIL AND THE TANK USING A
16×2 LCD.
COMPONENTS

• ARDUINO UNO • WATER COOLER PUMP


• CONNECTING WIRES • SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
• 16X2 LCD DISPLAY • TERMINAL CONNECTOR
• POWER SUPPLY 12V 1A
• RELAY 12V
WORKING

• IN THIS PLANT WATERING


SYSTEM, SOIL MOISTURE
SENSOR CHECKS THE MOISTURE
LEVEL IN THE SOIL AND IF
MOISTURE LEVEL IS LOW THEN
ARDUINO SWITCHES ON A WATER
PUMP TO PROVIDE WATER TO
THE PLANT.
• WATER PUMP GETS
AUTOMATICALLY OFF WHEN
SYSTEM FINDS ENOUGH
MOISTURE IN THE SOIL.

ARDUINO

• ARDUINO IS AN OPEN-SOURCE PLATFORM


USED FOR BUILDING ELECTRONICS
PROJECTS.
• ARDUINO CONSISTS OF BOTH A PHYSICAL
PROGRAMMABLE CIRCUIT BOARD AND A
PIECE OF SOFTWARE, OR IDE THAT RUNS ON
YOUR COMPUTER, USED TO WRITE AND
UPLOAD COMPUTER CODE TO THE
PHYSICAL BOARD.
• IN ORDER TO LOAD NEW CODE ONTO THE
BOARD – WE CAN SIMPLY USE A USB
CABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE ARDUINO IDE
USES A SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF C++
SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR

• SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR IS A SIMPLE


BREAKOUT FOR MEASURING THE MOISTURE
IN SOIL AND SIMILAR MATERIALS.
• THE SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR IS PRETTY
STRAIGHT FORWARD TO USE. THE TWO
LARGE EXPOSED PADS FUNCTION AS
PROBES FOR THE SENSOR, TOGETHER
ACTING AS A VARIABLE RESISTOR.
• THE MORE WATER THAT IS IN THE SOIL
MEANS THE BETTER THE CONDUCTIVITY
BETWEEN THE PADS WILL BE AND WILL
RESULT IN A LOWER RESISTANCE, AND A
HIGHER SIG OUT.
APPLICATIONS

• IRRIGATION IN FIELDS
• IRRIGATION IN GARDENS, PARKS ETC
• EFFICIENT FOR PADDY, RICE FIELDS ETC
• PISCICULTURE
ADVANTAGES

HIGHLY SENSITIVE, LOW COST AND RELIABLE


 WORKS ACCORDING TO SOIL CONDITION
 COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF MAN POWER
 CAN HANDLE HEAVY LOADS
 AUTOMATICALLY FERTIGATE CROPS
( FERTILIZE + IRRIGATE = FERTIGATE)
CONCLUSION

SOIL MOISTURE SENSORS ARE GAME


CHANGERS FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO
OPTIMIZE THEIR IRRIGATION AND WATER
MANAGEMENT PRACTISES. BY
UNDERSTANDING THE WORKING PRINCIPLE,
PIN CONFIGURATION YOU CAN EASILY
INCORPORATE WITH ADDED BENEFITS OF
REDUCED WATER USAGE, REDUCING MANUAL
CHECKING AND INCREASED CROP YIELDS.
THESE SENSORS ARE THE PERFECT SOLUTION
FOR PRECISION SOIL MOISTURE MONITORING.
