摘要

Irrigation is the most important part of agriculture. Technology-based irrigation systems will help farmers with their active involvement and enhancement of productivity. In this work, two separate technology-based irrigation methods have been presented. The first one describes an IoT-enabled solar-powered irrigation system for small farms and the second one describes an IoT-enabled epicyclic gear train-operated irrigation method that can be used during less sunshine periods. The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a new era of digitized agricultural practices, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance crop productivity and resource efficiency. In this study, we explore the integration of IoT with climate-responsive technologies to revolutionize agricultural irrigation practices using green energy. Focusing on the versatile ESP8266 microcontroller, renowned for its user-friendly interface and Wi-Fi connectivity, we present a comprehensive framework for IoT-enabled irrigation systems for small farms. The primary objective of this research encompasses the design and implementation of a sophisticated circuit utilizing the ESP8266 microcontroller to monitor critical environmental parameters including Relative Humidity (RH), Dry Bulb Temperature of air, and Soil Moisture content. Our system offers programmable adjustments tailored to varying soil moisture requirements across diverse agricultural contexts, emphasizing the maintenance of optimal soil moisture levels at 80% saturation. Furthermore, we propose the integration of prevailing solar water pumping and storage models with our IoT-based irrigation framework to devise a climate-compliant irrigation system suitable for fruits and vegetables, leveraging drip and sprinkler irrigation techniques. During less sunshine periods, the epicyclic gear train-operated irrigation system will work. Ultimately, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge in IoT-enabled agriculture, offering insights into innovative strategies for enhancing crop productivity, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable agricultural development.
