Smart Irrigation System: A Review

This paper demonstrates the importance of smart irrigation and its application, and how different methods can be applied in order to achieve optimal growth and cost-effectiveness and design of smart irrigation systems using Arduino. Present work has become more and more interested in minimal labor force and increased cost-effectiveness. Agriculture is a sector that should escalate for humans to sustain and reign. Major factors that affects agriculture are irrigation and climatic conditions; since, climatic conditions cannot be controlled and irrigation systems can be inculcated for better functionality and consistency, a particular type of smart system can be incorporated in order to attain maximum quality and quantity of crop.
