Agriculture is much old practice for the production of food, it can also be done with the help of latest technology. This presentation is based on automatic irrigation system, which is mostly done using sensors, electricity and pc/laptops. The usage of these systems depend on the farmers.

- 4. Drip Irrigationis a type of irrigation in which the water is supplied drop by drop to the plants In Automatic systems, we can set time for watering the plants automatically. Sprinkler Irrigation is a type of irrigation in which a nozzle is attached to pipe to make theater reach as far as possible. By setting time in the automatic systems we can water the plants during the night where evaporation is less. DRIP & SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
- 5. Both aredone in places where there is a shortage of water Both reduces the need for human labor. Both systems are mostly used in gardens & farms. Both systems are work with a micro controller and a sensor. COMMON IN BOTH
- 6. THE STRUCTURE OFTHE SYSTEM The system works with a micro-controller & a sensor. It works with electricity using mechanism. The sensor can detect the soils wetness and fertility. It is computer operated. It has modes to change it to manual.
- 7. Saves time-reduces the time spent on irrigating by yourself/labors. Save money- no need to waste money on labors. Save water- helps in places where there is shortage of water Increases soil fertility- water will not evaporates quickly. The systems are to expensive. It uses a lot of electricity. Some time may fail to work. More labors who worked as gardeners were left jobless. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
- 8. The usageof this technology depends on the knowledge of the Farmers. Most planters/farmers thought that these systems are only for large farms. It is not widely used but still most of them use the systems for time management. USAGE
