Abstract

Many People enjoy living around the plants due their benefits to mankind and the environment. Regular watering of plats is among the major factor that will keep them healthy and alive. Considering when and how much water needed by plants is two significant aspects of watering process. To make the work smart, an automatic plant watering system was developed to manage resources. The device is controlled using ATmega328 microcontroller which is manipulating the moisture content of the soil and gives out the signal to the water pump. The system was programmed to sense moisture level of plants at a given time. If the moisture content is below the specified threshold moisture value stated in the program code, then desired volume of water is supplied until it reaches threshold moisture value. This system can be used in greenhouse operation for small and large gardens.
