Smart Irrigation System (S.I.S.)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Climate change affects agriculture through effects on crops and weeds, soils, insects and disease. Gardeners are one of the most affected by the effects of climate change. Due to the effects of climate change, the gardeners are becoming too tired since they need to check their plants more frequently. The common irrigation system used for planting waters the plant depending on the time set by the owner and it doesn't consider the condition of the plants which could lead to drowning. in our device, the moisture, temperature, and humidity of the soil are being considered before the irrigation system water the plants. By using this device, the farmers won't be exhausted and they don't have to worry whether the plants will be in good condition or not.

METHODS

Twenty chili pepper seeds were planted and were grown for a week. The plants' heights were measured and the numbers of leaves were counted. The chili pepper plants were divided into two plant boxes to install the system on one of it and the other one was watered manually. The plants were observed for 30 days and the heights of the plants were measured and the numbers of leaves were counted again. The results were analyzed with independent T-test statistical analysis.

DISCUSSIONS

The results showed that the Smart Irrigation System (S. I. S.) is better to use than the manual irrigation system. It also signified that S. I. S. uses water efficiently and can be a help to the agricultural society.
