The main aim of this project is to design low-cost Agriculture ecosystem for irrigation to reduce the manual monitoring of the field and get the information in the form of GSM. The data is also displayed on LCD.   The controlling device of the whole system is done using PIC microcontroller. Whenever the sensors unit gets the input from respected sensors like temperature sensor, level indicator sensor soil moisture sensor, these inputs are fed to the microcontroller. The microcontroller performs appropriate task related to the data received like motor ON/OFF control. If soil moisture is low, SMS is sent to mobile through GSM. Then we can ON the motor by sending the message to controller through GSM, then controller ON the motor. If water level is at appropriate level, then motor OFF automatically. If temperature of the motor increases, then motor OFF automatically. The appropriate values displayed on LCD.        

Features:

• Automatic irrigation control based on soil moisture level.
• GSM-based SMS alerts for low soil moisture and system status.
• Remote motor ON/OFF control through GSM messaging.
• Automatic motor protection using water level and temperature monitoring.
• Real-time display of sensor values on a 16×2 LCD screen.
