Abstract
This paper presents controlling of water distribution scheme, using the embedded system for performing crop specific irrigation activities using a PID controller that is designed to adjust remote sensors and actuator parameters. In addition, an automated approach is introduced to estimate the variance of the noise of the sensors during the operation. Considering detecting data acquisition context and automatic noise detection, the robustness of monitoring is enhanced against errors related to remote sensor context i.e., high temperature and variation capacity humidity. To achieve the best production of the crop, knowledge of the conditions of air and soil is required; use of smart irrigation reduces overall water consumption and improves Usage of water reserves. Smart usage of irrigation system optimizes land area productivity and conserves nature by control of climate including temperature, humidity and light intensity. There will be data acquisition from the sensors and then it will be compared with the threshold values and based on that decisions will be taken to water the crops by a microcontroller like PIC16F877A based interfacing unit, this microcontroller has been used in this paper to obtain low cost smart irrigation solution. This is a system useful for farms, greenhouses and the home gardening systems.
