Abstract :
This paper focus on a smart irrigation system which is cost effective and a middle class farmer use it in farm field. Today we are living in 21st century where automation is playing important role in human life. Automation allows us to control appliances automatic control. It not only provide comfort but also reduce energy, efficiency and time saving. Today industries are use automation and control machine which is high in cost and not suitable for using in a farm field. So here we also design a smart irrigation technology in low cost which is usable by Indian farmers. The objectives of this paper were to control the water motor automatically and select the direction of the flow of water in pipe with the help of soil moisture sensor. Finally send the information (operation of the motor and direction of water) of the farm field to the mobile message and g-mail account of the user.
