Abstract : This paper presents a Crop Monitoring System (CMS) designed to effectively manage crop water moisture levels through automated irrigation control. The system incorporates soil moisture sensors and environmental sensors for real-time data collection, which is then processed by a controller to determine optimal irrigation schedules and water application rates. By integrating predefined thresholds and algorithms, the controller ensures precise irrigation tailored to specific crop and soil conditions, thus preventing both under- watering and over-watering. Additionally, the CMS features wireless communication capabilities, enabling remote monitoring and adjustment of irrigation settings by farmers. This remote accessibility facilitates timely interventions and optimizations, even in the absence of farmers in the fields. Overall, the CMS enhances crop health, improves resource efficiency, and conserves water in agriculture. By leveraging advanced sensor technologies and intelligent control algorithms, this system offers a sustainable solution for precision agriculture, contributing to increased yields while minimizing water usage and environmental impact. This project intends to make farming as mechanized and labor-free as possible.
