ABSTRACT
India is mainly an agricultural country. Agriculture, which is one of the most important occupations for the Indian
families plays a vital role in the development of agricultural countries. Basically Groundnut is grown as Kharif
crop. The Productivity of Kharif groundnut is lower than the summer crop. Decrease in rainfall during kharif,
leads to low yield. So, to overcome this we have proposed our project Smart irrigation system in groundnut field
using IOT. In our project we are using different kind of sensors like DHT11, PIR sensor, soil moisture sensors
which detects the different boundaries of the dirt and dependent on soil dampness esteem the land gets naturally
watered by the motor. The Sensors values and status of motor will be shown on android application of the user.
Keywords: Arduino, DHT11 Sensor, Moisture Sensor, PIR Sensor, Buzzer.
I. INTRODUCTION
Irrigation system of plants is typically an exceptionally tedious movement, to be done in a sensible measure of
time, it requires a lot of HR. Customarily every one of the means were executed by people. These days a few
frameworks use innovation to lessen the quantity of laborers in the field and the time needed to water the plants.
With these frameworks, the control is extremely restricted, and numerous assets are as yet squandered Water is
one of these assets that are utilized unreasonably. This technique addresses enormous misfortunes since the
plants are watered than its need. The abundance water is cleared by the openings in nurseries, or it permeates
through the dirt in the fields. The contemporary impression of water is that of a free inexhaustible assets that can
be utilized in wealth. It is reasonable to assume that it will become a very expensive resource everywhere. The
excess cost of water labor is becoming more and more expensive. Technology is probably a solution to reduce
costs and prevent loss of resource, Limitations of existing system: Physical work of farmer to control drip
irrigation, wastage of water, wastage of time, another major threat is that the crops in the crop yield is destroyed
by the animals passing through it. The current methods used to resolve this problem include the use of electriﬁed
welded mesh fences (usually 30cm in the ground), chemicals or organic substances and gas cannons. Other
conventional techniques applied by ranchers incorporate the utilization of Helikites, Balloons, Shot/Gas
weapons, String and stone, and so on these arrangements are regularly barbarous and ineffectual. They likewise
require an immense measure of establishment and support cost and a portion of the techniques have ecological
contamination impacts on the two people and creatures. Then again, to forestall these creature assaults the
substance items utilized have a use of expansion in cost per hectare and their adequacy. So in our project we have
come up with an idea that doesn't affect any animal that attacks or damages the field, it counter various problem
caused by raccoons, rats etc. in the field and it doesn’t cause any pollution unlike chemical repellents. This project
can be a strong way to face such a situation.
II. PROPOSED SYSTEM
19% of groundnut field is irrigated in India. In our project proposal we have taken ground nut field as an example
to implement our idea to water the plants automatically without human intervention. The groundnut field is
mainly attacked by racoons and rats. To prevent that we are using PIR sensor for the motion detection of the
animal passing the field and alerts by giving an alarm, this is the idea we have proposed in our project.

IV. COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM
NODE MCU: As Arduino.cc started growing new MCU sheets dependent on non-AVR processors like the
ARM/SAM MCU and utilized in the Arduino Due, they expected to adjust the Arduino IDE so it would be
moderately simple to change the IDE to help substitute toolchains to permit Arduino C/C++ to be accumulated
for these new processors. They did this with the presentation of the Board Manager and the SAM Core. A "center"
is the assortment of programming parts needed by the Board Manager and the Arduino IDE to order an Arduino
C/C++ source record for the objective MCU's machine language. Some ESP8266 lovers built up an Arduino center
for the ESP8266 WiFi SoC, famously called the "ESP8266 Core for the Arduino IDE”.
DHT 11 SENSOR: DHT11 is a digital sensor for sensing temperature and humidity. This sensor can be effectively
interfaced with microcontroller such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, to measure humidity and temperature
instantaneously.DHT11 sensor is available as an sensor and as an module. To gauge the encompassing air the
sensor utilizes a thermistor and a capacitive dampness sensor.
SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR: The water content (moisture) of soil can be measured by using this sensor. When the
soil is dry which mean water shortage, the module output is high level, else the output is at low level. The sensor
reminds the user to water their plants and furthermore screens the dampness substance of soil. This sensor has
been widely used in agriculture land irrigation and botanical gardening.

PIR SENSOR: PIR stands for Passive Infrared. PIR sensors permit you to detect movement, quite often used to
distinguish whether a living being has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are little, economical, low-
power, simple to utilize and don't wear out. Therefore, they are ordinarily found in apparatuses like human
recognition, Security purposes and devices utilized in homes or organizations. They are likewise alluded to as
PIR, "Latent Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR movement" sensors.
V. METHODOLOGY
❖ All sensor are connected to Arduino and capable to monitor the condition and level of moisture, temperature
and humidity sensor parameters throughout the System.
❖ At certain critical condition, user will be notified by mobile application. Likewise User figure out how to
control the water stream by getting to the framework through cell phone.
❖ The water will stream out from the solenoid valve that is constrained by hand-off module which goes about
as a switch.
❖ Motor turns ON consequently and waters the soil, When ,
• The moisture level of the dirt - range below 300 bars
• Humidity of the dirt- less than 75° ,
• Temperature of the dirt-less than 27°C
❖ PIR Sensor detects the motion of the animal.
❖ It alarms and repel bats, rats, foxes, raccoons, mice.
VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The microcontroller gets the input values from moisture sensor, DTH 11 and PIR sensor. As we focused our Smart
irrigation system mainly for groundnut fields. So when the moisture level is below 300 Bars, Humidity level is
below 75%, and Temperature is below 27°c then the microcontroller turns on the motor and waters the fields
with the water pump. When the logic toggle of PIR Sensor is toggled to 1 the Buzzer will turn ON and repel the
animals like Racoons and rats. Logic Toggle indicates the Motion detection sensed by the PIR Sensor.

VII. CONCLUSION
Nowadays innovations can be consolidated to let down the cost and maximize utilization of resources. Currently,
farmers control irrigation methods manually and irrigate their area at a systematic period. These mechanisms
diminish high amounts of water and the conclusion is water loss. While dry areas have less rainfall and irrigation
is challenging. The smart agricultural system guarantees increase in productivity with enough amount of water.
Automation of the irrigation system control measure by utilizing the recognized ecological boundaries to be
required. Smart irrigation can be automated by the current technologies presented above and its main
advantages are increase in productivity, reduce water consumption and reduce soil erosion.
