Abstract
An AUTO AGRICULTURE SYSTEM is not only developed to optimize water
used for the agricultural crops but also to reduce the efforts of billions of farmers and to
provide exactly the same quantity of water that the crop require. Actual water requirement
of crops depend on the moisture content (already present) in soil, actual temperature and
relative humidity of the atmosphere, speed of wind and the types of crops, too. In this
system, a gateway unit (control unit) handles with the sensor information and triggers
actuators (valves). The system is having a distributed wireless network of soil moisture
sensor, compost sensors which will be placed in the root zone of the plants. And the wind
sensor is placed at 2 meter height with respect to ground level.
