ABSTRACT

 This project focuses on automatic irrigation system that incorporates the theory of digital control and feedback system with irrigation. In this system of irrigation, critical information (irrigating time) which is sent to a circuit controller is provided by a modern, corresponding to real time. The controller uses this information to schedule irrigation by turning on or off the sprinkler valve that supplies water to the farmland. This automatic irrigation system supplies water as needed, thus optimizing plant growth and help conserve water and energy. This system could be• the solution to all year round food production, or better still, achieving the arability of every land. We see a possibility where almost any land in the arid and semi-arid regions of Nigeria can be used to grow food crops, provided its major set-back is tackled using an effective irrigation system. This device is achievable using locally available materials such as; transistor, capacitor, GSM modern etc.
