IOT BASED AUTOMATED IRRIGATION SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI

Internet of Things (IoT)is a shared network of objects or things which can interact with each other provided the internet connection. IoT plays an important role in agriculture sector which can feed 9.6 billion people on the Earth by 2050. Smart Agriculture helps to reduce wastage, effective usage of fertilizer and thereby increase the crop yield. In this work, a system is developed to monitor crop-field using sensor (soil moisture) and automate the irrigation system. The irrigation is automated if the moisture of the field falls below the brink. This system will be more useful in areas where water is in scarce and more efficient than the conventional approach.
