Abstract

The watering plants using solar panel works on the principal of conductivity within the soil. The moisture content or wetness of the soil also plays a vital function in plant growth. As a result, it is critical to keep the moisture contained. The use of adequate watering systems, such as irrigation, is critical in the agricultural field since the major cause is a lack of rain and a scarcity of land reservoir water. To address agriculture sector irrigation system difficulties using available water resources, new technological technologies are being explored to allow agricultural automation to increase crop productivity. The project's goal is to reduce the agriculturist's manual intervention. The automated irrigation system will be used for the following purposes. The solar panels are estimated to generate at least 12W for the system to function. The microcontroller will be monitored using blynk application when the moisture of the soil is lower. The water pump will be controlled by using a smartphone to switched on or off. This system will be easily adjusted with the mobile application. As result, this system will be functioning independently and also reducing the consumption of energy.
