| Automated Irrigation Controller has been designed and developed based on the principal of soil moisture potential. A tensiometer in conjunction with mercury manometer and two sensors has been designed to detect the change in mercury level due to variation in soil moisture. The sensors give feed back to the electronic circuitry to actuate and de-actuate irrigation pump. The developed irrigation controller was tested in laboratory and field plot irrigated through drip system operated with electric motor driven mono-block pump. The irrigation controller actuated and de-actuated the irrigation pump exactly at the preset position of the sensors during field test. The developed irrigation controller can be successfully used for automation the irrigation system. | |
