DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PLANT MOISTURE MONITORING SYSTEM.

Abstract

This project presents a Plant Moisture Monitoring System that uses minimal human intervention to monitor plant humidity levels and provide watering as needed. Our topic's goals were to increase our understanding of plant moisture monitoring through the design and application of plant moisture monitoring systems. The initiative aimed to decrease water waste, boost plant growth, and automatically monitor the soil. The water pump was controlled by a relay module, an Arduino and a soil moisture sensor, and an LED to indicate when the soil was not humid. We tested two soil prototypes, one with the ideal humidity and the other with insufficient humidity, to fulfill our goals. When the first prototype had the ideal humidity (below 800), it didn't require a water pump for irrigation; however, when the humidity was insufficient, we did need a water pump, as shown by the signals from the LED diode (800 or higher). In conclusion, we discovered numerous uses for the project after planning and carrying it out, such as in parks, horticultural areas, and agricultural regions. Furthermore, this approach would be helpful and simple to utilize to solve the soil problem in any kind of climate.
