Abstract

Agriculture provides a significant economical contribution to Asian countries. Conventional methods used in agriculture require much human labor and energy consumption. An ideal irrigation method for all weather conditions, soil structures, and a variety of crop cultures are needed because of the lack of adequate knowledge in the advancement of technology in rural areas. The aim of this work is to develop an agricultural field monitoring system using embedded system to provide a novel approach to automatic agricultural field monitoring. Here, the proposed work would be developed and implemented by using of temperature, humidity and rain detector sensors embedded with a micro - controller. An AVR micro - controller would be used here and the program would be written in ‘C’ using the ATMEL Studio Integrated Development Environment. The method of this developmental work required calibration of the sensors and interfacing the AVR with an output pump for irrigation purposes. As a result of using this system, farmers are able to evaluate harvest conditions. Practical implications of using this system would be to reduce unwanted usage of water whilst allowing the proper yield of harvest as well as reducing human labor.

Keywords
