SOLAR BASED AUTOMATED PLANT WATERING BOT FOR INDIAN AGRICULTURE SCENARIO

Abstract

Agriculture is an important factor in the development of a country. In India about 70% of population depends upon farming and one third the nation’s capital comes from farming. Issues concerning agriculture will always affect the development. The only solution to this problem is smart agriculture. An adequate water supply is important for plant growth. This can be achieved by using Solar Based Automated Plant Watering Bot. This paper explains the water needs for Indian agriculture, when the rate of water resources are depleting to a dangerous threat. Therefore, there is a necessity of smart and efficient way of irrigation. In this paper we have implemented sensors which detect the humidity in the soil (agricultural field) and supply water to the field which has water requirement. It works according to the information received from the sensors. Secondly, it also checks the humidity and supply water according to its needs.
