 Abstract— Crops are ever in demand in countries, not
only for the people lives, but also for growth of economic,
and so growing crops is of most importance. Using standard
technology increases efficiency and minimize the workload
of farmers. Therefore, to increase productivity, it is must to
know about moisture in soil and crop types. Each crop
variety and associated soil needs a particular amount of
water, thereby the project need to make the most of what is
available. To achieve this, it should utilize modern tools
and technologies. This paper focuses on an automated
irrigation system, in which irrigating fields only when they
need to be fed, through utilization of machine learning
algorithms. Real-time soil moisture, fertility, and pH
readings are sensed using sensors and made available on
the system. This irrigation method helps to conserve water
and the system could provide low-cost model that gives
optimal as well as accurate results.

I. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is the pillar of any industrialized
country's economy consumes 85% of the available fresh.
Water utilization can be optimized by observing soil
humidity, which is useful for crop production. These days,
automation manages the world. It is a method of observing
and controlling basic tasks of everyday life.
Automation decreases human effort and makes
everyday action easier and more efficient. The irrigation
system, or automated irrigation system, must be able to
understand the unique requirements of each crop in the
agricultural field.
This data can be leads to the irrigation system
framework using machine learning (ML) technique of data
analysis which allows data to learn on its own and then
applies that learning without the requirement for human
interference.
One of the most captivating parts of automation is the
Internet of Things. IoT makes use of several sensors that
connect with one another and provide data accuracy. IoT
gives answers for various issues and permits things to be
detected or controlled from a distance. The significant part
of IoT is that it saves money and guarantees security. Smart
irrigation uses soil moisture sensors and soil pH sensors,
which require some real-time information about soil
moisture in the field.
The approach of building an automated irrigation
system is to ensure proper water supply to the plants based
on various requirements needed by the plants in agricultural
land, and also to help farmers to know the soil parameters in
order to provide proper irrigation as the system is designed
to be accessed remotely. A sensor senses the information in
the soil, and an Arduino transmits the data to the computer,
which displays the pH value, temperature, and moisture in
the soil. Using this information, we can determine the
amount of water required by the soil and which crop to
cultivate in that specific soil.
The top soil quality metrics and the programmed
irrigation system are the emphasis of our project.
Soil quality parameters:
• Soil quality factors label the state of soil ecosystem
properties such as buffering, production, filtering, and other
soil processes.
The following are the soil quality parameters:
stability, such as the penetration of the soil or the granularity
of the soil, generally stable (salt content, biological mass
content in soil, hefty metal contamination), fairly dynamic
(pH, nutrient content), and active (pH, nutrient content) (top
soil moistness and heat).
• Soil moisture sensor: Sensors that measure the
volumetric content of water are ordinarily referred to as soil
moisture sensors. It contains 2 components a probe with two
exposed conductors that inserts into the soil and a module
that connects the probe to the Arduino.
• Soil pH sensor: Soil pH meters are devices that
measures a soil's acidity or alkalinity. They can estimate
hydrogen potential or pH by measuring hydrogen ion
activity. The pH ruler ranges from O to 14, with O

Nourishment and Rural Organization (FAO) researchers,
between 2010 and 2050 the world populace will increment
by one third. The request for edit generation will increment

ATmega328P, consists of other components like serial
communication, crystal oscillator, voltage regulator,
etc. in supporting the microcontroller. Arduino Uno
has fourteen digital input/output pins (in which 6 are
used for PWM outputs), 6 for analog input pins, a USB

Advantages
 VerySensitive
 Very efficient andaccurate
 Analogue and Digital Output
Applications
 IrrigationApplications
 Small- and Large-ScaleIndustries
 GreenHouse
 RANDOM FOREST
Random Forest algorithm - a supervised
classification algorithm is used to create a forest in some
way and then make it random. There is a direct relationship
between the tree numbers in forest and results it can get: the
larger number of trees, the more accurate is the result. But it
should be noted that creating the forest is not the same as
constructing decision with information gain / gain index
approach. In this project, random forest algorithm is used as
machine learning approach for smart irrigation concept.
IV. CONCLUSION
Agriculture which is the main backbone of counties
like India. But, the technology usage towards agriculture is
still not given paramount importance towards better farming.
This paper proposed a system to help farmers to get an idea
of estimates yielding based on weather parameters during
cultivation. This research work can be enhancing to the next
level. We built a recommender system for agriculture
production as well as distribution for farmer. Using this,
farmers make decision in which season crop should sow so
that they give more benefit. In future we may implement data
independent systems also. It means whatever format of data,
our system will work with same efficiency.
