Abstract

Watering is the most important cultural practice and most labour intensive task in daily greenhouse operation. As we all know, most of the gardener use the manual system to irrigate their plant but this system is not efficient. The plants die if there is not enough water supplies to the plant or it waste water and time if over watering. To overcome this problem, the “Automatic Plant Watering without Human Interference” is created. For this project, it is used watering tube system because it can water the plants located in the pots. Besides, this project uses Arduino UNO board. It is programmed in such a way that it will sense the moisture level of the plants and supply the water if required. Normally, the plants need to be watered three times daily. So, the microcontroller has to be coded to water the plants when the content of moist in soil dries. When the content of water in the soil below than 70%, a pump will automatic suck the water from the tank and spray to the plant. It will stop when the content of the water above 70%. The sensor will be used in this project are moisture sensor. This moisture sensor can read the amount of moisture present in the soil surrounding it. The monitor will show the data when the soil in wet, dry or dampness. This project does not use human effort to watering and monitoring the plant, all operation will be automatic. Conclusion, watering the plant make easier when the operation automatic. When the soil reaches dry condition the motor will trigger the pump to watering the plant, and it will make the plant growth. In agricultural lands with the severe shortage of rainfall, this model can be successfully applied to achieve great results with most types of soil.
