Simulation Of Automatic Irrigation Gates Control System

Abstract

Recently agricultural development techniques have been increasing rapidly with the help of modern available controlled devices like computer, microcontrollers, sensor, and integrated circuits. In the present work a Microcontroller based controlled irrigation system is developed for the agricultural plantation. Required water provides for plantation whenever the level of water in the canals and the humidity of the soil go below the set-point value. Humidity and level sensors provide proportional amount of output with change in humidity, which is compared, to the set-point and the data is taken through the channel. If the set-point data indicate that planet needs water then the gate is opened to provide water. If the set-point data indicate that planet don’t need water any more then the gate is closed. This provides right amount of water at right time. The required software program is developed in micro C language.
