 ABSTRACT

The efficient irrigation management practices based on the monitoring of the moisture in
the soil provide a great benefit for the appropriate amount of water applied in the fields. This
paper presents design and development of a soil moisture sensor and a response monitoring
system. The probes used in this sensor are made of nickel which is an anti-corrosive and robust
material for use in agricultural related applications. The response monitoring system measure the
moisture of the soil, compare it with the desired values given by the user and generate alert if soil
moisture goes below desired value. It helps in problems related to growing of crops in which
irrigation is required at irregular interval. It is also helpful in monitoring of soil moisture in golf
fields
Because water is an important resource and not all communities around the world can
afford to be liberal with their water needs it has become important to use available water as
efficiently as possible, especially in agriculture. For the purpose of reducing the overwatering of
crops, an unattended ground moisture sensor can be implemented to measure the current
moisture level in the soil surrounding the plants. This will allow a farmer to know when to
water/stop watering his crop. For convenience, the moisture data information should be
transmitted wirelessly to the user. The design of an unattended ground moisture sensor and
wireless communication/user interface system is discussed. The sensor design consists of a
Wheatstone bridge for determining the resistance of the soil, followed by a differential amplifier
for converting the measured resistance into a voltage. This is done because there exists a
correlation between moisture and resistance. This voltage is interpreted by a microcontroller as
moisture data and sent wirelessly to a Lora communication receiving node by a Lora
communication transmitting node. The receiving node then relays that information to a PC host
for access by the user. The system has a power circuit that consists of a battery and a linear
regulator.
