The economy being highly based on agriculture demands innovative and reliable methods of irrigation.The shortcomings of manual methods of irrigation can be rectified using automated process. This system presents the idea of automatic irrigation method the task of automatic irrigation is done through assistance of soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor. In the system, based on the soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor the water pump is controlled by relay which in turn is controlled by the Arduino controller.The water content is constantly judged and whenever moisture level of soil gets low, the system sendsa signal to turn on the motors.The motors automatically stop after soil reaches its maximum upper threshold value which is decided by user. The major advantages of the System include avoidance from water wastage, proper and efficient use of waste water, growth of plants to their maximum potential, less chances of error due to less labour.
