Efficiency Evalution and Comparison of Soil Moisture Sensor and Time-Based Sensor for Radish

Abstract

Water is one of the most valuable things for all living organisms, also crops require water for growth and development. The supplying of water to the plant is called irrigation method. During the irrigation of crops approximately 28% of water will be wasted in India due to some poor irrigation methods, leakages in the pipeline. Due to lack of poor irrigation, it affects the growth of the crop. The major problem is selection of irrigation methods, many of them are not choosing the right irrigation method for the selected crop. To maximise the usage of water, a system for developing water dialogue is needed. Additionally, to optimise water use, eliminate water waste, and agricultural systems must be automated. So, in this project we compare the soil moisture sensor and timing sensor in the drip irrigation system for the crop radish. The main aim of the project is to reduce the wastage of water and increasing the efficiency of plant growth. By comparing these two types of sensors we get the result which one is the best one and which gives more yield in the less amount of water, this will be helpful for the farmers to choose the different irrigation method for their fields.
