Irrigation happens to be the backbone of the civilized society since time immemorial. W ith population increasing at an exponential rate and land areas being curved short accommodating this enormous population, several new and innovative practices are coming up. The subject of talk in this paper therefore relates to the different techniques of using natural resources. Although many innovative techniques have been employed towards Automated Irrigation, they mostly indulge simp le On -Off based controller. Artificial Neural Network can give us a good amount of remedy fro m the existing problems as it can operate upon the valves and actuators connected to the system as and when required. Taking into consideration of the parameters wh ich play decid ing role in irrigation of a pa rticu lar kind of crop or plantation, we look forward to designing an ANN based MATLAB simu lated model which does give much better results than the conventional ON/ OFF ones. The system starts fro m taking signals fro m various sensors and ends up at giving much better required output from the Final Control Elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
