Modern agriculture requires efficient water management, especially in hilly regions where uneven terrain makes irrigation difficult. Traditional irrigation methods often result in improper water distribution, increased wastage, and reduced crop productivity. To overcome these challenges, this project presents an IoT-based smart irrigation system designed for multi-crop cultivation, specifically for Wheat and Jowar crops.The system uses NodeMCU modules as wireless sensor nodes to monitor soil moisture, temperature, and humidity in real time across different crop zones. The collected data is transmitted to the Blynk cloud platform via Wi-Fi, enabling continuous monitoring through a mobile application. A Raspberry Pi acts as the central controller, processing the data and controlling irrigation components such as a water pump and solenoid valves using a relay module.The system operates in both automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, irrigation is controlled based on soil moisture thresholds to ensure optimal water usage. In manual mode, users can monitor data and control the system remotely through the Blynk mobile application.This system improves water efficiency, reduces manual effort, and ensures proper irrigation in hilly environments. It is cost-effective, scalable, and supports real-time agricultural applications, contributing to sustainable farming and improved crop yield.
