The main purpose of this paper is to provide automatic irrigation device which senses the level of soil moisture itself. And this level of sensing is achieved by a sensor of soil moisture, which senses the level of moisture and also provides a regulated level of moisture to various crops. If the soil's moisture level falls below a certain amount then the sensor sends the detected value to the microcontroller. The water is supplied to the crops automatically to the desired level according to the value sensed by the sensor in order to preserve the moisture content in the soil. The theme of this paper is to minimize human interference (farmers) and use solar energy for irrigation purposes which is one of the non-renewable sources. PIC microcontroller managed overall system. This system uses a 4X4 keypad for control of various crops. If the soil's moisture content is reduced then the sensor sends the microcontroller the detected value. The water pump then automatically ON depending on the level of humidity. This paper aims at minimizing human interference for farmers and using solar energy for irrigation purposes. The entire device that the PIC microcontroller controls.
