Abstract—This paper presents the smart irrigation system LQDQRWKHUSDUWRIWKHGD\7KHVHV\VWHPVDUHVWLOOLQHIIHFWLYH

using Internet of Things (IoT) via the Arduino Mega 2560. The
objectives of this paper are to investigate the concept of smart
irrigation system using IoT, to develop a system using an
Arduino Mega 2560 that processes the data from the soil
sensor which automatically water the plant and to analyse the
real time condition of soil of the plants via the smart phone
that is connected to the internet. The scope of the study is
focused on farming crops and gardening. The limitations of
this project can be very expensive if it is applied on a big area.
It had to install the sensors for every plant as it is needed to
know the condition of the soil. Water pump must also be added
for every plant in order to supply the water. In this project, it
requires blynk application software on the smartphone and
hardware implementation which can detect the condition of the
plant by using the dht 11 sensor and moisture level sensor. The
findings of this paper are based on the experiments that were
done. The first two experiments were between smart irrigation
and normal irrigation. After 7 days, the results showed that
smart irrigation topple the normal irrigation. Then, it
proceeded to the next 3 experiments which are with the
appearance of sunlight, pH values of the water and the windy
condition. The conclusion of this paper is based on the
objectives which all the three objectives had already achieved
Keywords—smart irrigation, Arduino Mega 2560, soil sensor,
dht 11 sensor, water pump.
