OBJECTIVE:
To tackle the problems of agricultural sector regarding irrigation

system with available water resources.

New concepts are being developed to allow agricultural

automation to flourish and deliver its full potential, so we consider the implication of developing a new single technology of Automatic plant irrigation system using AT89S52 MCU

An embedded system is a special purpose

computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints.

It is usually embedded as part of a complete

device including hardware and mechanical parts.

POWER SUPPLY UNIT:

AT89S52 Microcontroller:
The AT89S52 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit

microcontroller with 8K bytes of in-system programmable flash memory.

By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with in-system

programmable flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89S52 is a powerful microcontroller which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many embedded control applications.

RELAY:
A Relay is an electrically controllable switch widely used in industrial controls, automobiles, etc

inductor

Moisture Sensors:
It can be also called as a

soil moisture sensor.

Soil

moisture

is

highly

variable. Accuracy from a single site isn't enough to run an experiment.

AC motor:
An electric motor uses

electrical energy to produce mechanical energy.

Electric motors are found in

household appliances such as fans, refrigerators, pool

washing

machines,

pumps, floor vacuums, and fan-forced ovens.

TRAIC (BT136):
TRIAC,

from

Triode

for

Alternating

Current, is a generalized trade name for an electronic component which can

conduct current in either direction when it is triggered (turned on), and is formally called bidirectional triode thyristor or bilateral triode thyristor.

Liquid crystal display (LCD):

It is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying

information such as text, images, and moving pictures. Its uses include monitors for computers, televisions, instrument panels, and other devices ranging from aircraft cockpit displays, to every-day consumer devices such as gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones.

ADVANTAGES:
Night Day mode sensing Low cost Highly sensitive Reliable circuit Complete elimination of manpower

APPLICATIONS:
Water roof gardens. Agricultural land. Home gardens. Highly sensitive. Works according to soil condition. Low cost. Reliable circuit. Complete elimination of man power. Night-Day mode sensing.

CONCLUSION:
This project presents a high sensitive sensors based

automotive device control.

The tracking controller based on the closed loop

algorithm is designed and implemented with Atmel 89S52 MCU in embedded system domain.
The light sensitivity resistors are used to determine the

night day vision.

FUTURE SCOPE:
The main scope of this project is to make the irrigation automated. With the use of low cost sensors and the simple

circuitry makes this project a low cost product, which can be bought by a poor farmer. This project is best suited for places where water is scares and to be used in limited quantity.
