Automated Microwave Irrigation for Moisture Leve Control using Airblower System

Abstract

Agriculture has been the most important practice from very beginning of the human civilization. It has seen many iterations of development in technology with time. A good agricultural practice is still an art. Environmental parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, pH, solar radiation ,etc. plays very important role in overall development of the plant. Temperature affects many of plant activities such as pollination, germination etc. It is observed that, at higher temperature, respiration rate increases that result in reduction of sugar contents of fruits and vegetables. At lower temperatures photosynthesis activity is slowed down . Humidity is responsible for moisture loss and temperature management of the plant. For high humid environment, evapotransmission will be less and more water will saturated in the leaf area. This results in enlargement and formation of fungus in the porous area of the leaf. Moisture is critical for seed germination and uptake of nutrients by the plant. Excess water may stop gaseous exchange between soil and the atmosphere which reduces root respiration and root growth. Optimum level of moisture ensures healthy growth of the root and overall development of the plant . A sustainable approach is required to maintain balance between these parameters and environment. Hence there is a need of efficient monitoring and control system. In recent engineering advances the convergence of internet, communication and information technologies paves the way for new generation. Currently, distributed wireless sensor network plays significant responsibility in civilizing agricultural production and mitigating the agony of farmers .Hence Here system has been developed to maintain balance between this parameter which are co-related .Basically system control the moisture level using air blower system and another advancement is that basic need of plant that is O2 and CO2 transmission to plant as per requirement .
