Abstract

An automated garden irrigation system for plant is a system that can be used for most type of low ground plant in the agriculture field.The system main focus is to help the gardener in term of time management,workload and the quality of their plants.This is because as the world is moving forward,technology that can be able to conserve time and energy become a highly demand product.This system can be used for many different types of low ground plant that suit the weather in Malaysia.Since this system does not have climate control system as this system does not being developed for this kind of purpose,it cannot be used for high ground plantation.Then,this system is built in a one medium size vase.However,even in this report it only been used for a small area as it is only a prototype,this system also can be used for a large scale area of plantation.The size and design of this system is adjustable as it also can be use as portable since it is in a small size and the software can be done easily.This system covers 4 type of parameters that need for the plants growth which are humidity,temperature,light and soil moisture that being control automatically by the sensors.The detected of temperature and humidity value will be process by the Arduino Mega microcontroller,then the value will be display on the LCD so the user can see the real time value easily.Based on the detected value on soil moisture sensor,if the soil of the field is dry the microcontroller will activate the water pump to do the irrigation process to keep the plant get the nutrition. During the dark surrounding area,the light will replace the sun as the it allows the plant able to do their transpiration process.Therefore,this automated garden irrigation system able to reduce human intervention at the most possible in handling plants.
