Design and Development of Arduino based Automatic Soil Moisture Monitoring System for Optimum use of Water in Agricultural Fields
Abstract
The research aim was to the study the intelligent soil moisture control system in agricultural green house based on Adriano Uno microcontroller automation control. This kind of intelligent soil moisture control system helps to control the moisture level of the field and supply the water if required. In this research embedding a control system into an automatic water pump controller depend upon the moisture of the soil. This system also ability to detect the level of methane gas in the green house. The intelligent soil moisture control system in agricultural green house designed in the research had wonderful effort of man-machine interface, it is very simple, cheep and convenient high degree of automation system. Not only that this system helps to prevent wastage of water. This system is a prototype, which makes this self-sufficient, watering itself from a reservoir. Solar energy is used in this system makes it more environment friendly.

Introduction
India is a country where majority of our population are dependable on the agriculture to live their daily life. In this modern technological era poor farmers of india cannot get enough assistance from others to help them with technology and make their work easier. This project made automatic field monitoring & controlling system that can be utilize to improve the condition of green houses. Arduino Uno microcontroller is the main controlling unit of whole system. This system performed the following task:
1. Supply water according to moisture level of soil.
2. Automatic alarming system to avoid the burning of plants by excessive temperature of atmosphere.
3. Automatic methane gas detecting system in green house.
4. Reusing process of excessive water in the field.
Conclusion
This project of greenhouse monitoring system has been developed based on the arduino Uno. The microcontroller circuit has been developed with less number of components and is highly reliable. After verifying the data that was shown in got in monitor, assured about the success of the project. Presence of each module has been systematic out and placed carefully, thus contributing to the best working of the every unit. Thus, the Arduino Based Automatic soil moisture monitoring system has been designed and tested successfully. Project snapshots are shown in figure 11.
