CONCLUSION





Irrigation is the key to a successful garden. Long gone are the days of manual watering or relying on a friend to water when you are on vacation or away on business.
The Project presented here waters your plants regularly when you are out for vocation. The circuit comprises sensor parts built using op-amp IC LM324. Opamp is configured here as a comparator.



Two stiff copper wires are inserted in the soil to sense the whether the Soil is wet or dry.
The comparator monitors the sensors and when sensors sense the dry condition then the project will switch on the motor and it will switch off the motor when the sensors are in wet. The comparator does the above job it receives the signals from the sensors.





This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply.
7805 three terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation.
Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the ac out put of secondary of
230/12V step down transformer.



The LM324 series consists of four independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages

Features







Internally frequency compensated for unity gain
Large DC voltage gain 100 dB
Wide bandwidth (unity gain) 1 MHz (temperature compensated) Wide power supply range: Single supply 3V to 32V or dual supplies ±1.5V to ±16V
Very low supply current drain (700 μA)—essentially independent of supply voltage
Low input biasing current 45 nA (temperature compensated) 

A relay is an electrically controllable switch widely used in industrial controls, automobiles and appliances.





An electric motor uses electrical energy to produce mechanical energy
Electric motors are found in household appliances such as fans, refrigerators,

    Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants without basing them in soil. Hydroponic systems have been used since ancient times; it is believed that the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon employed a technique of ‘flowing water’ to keep plants alive. Chinese and South American cultures appear to have used hydroponics in cultivating crops since around 1300AD (Turner. B. n.d.).…

    Yuma Arizona has been changed greatly by irrigation. The colorado river has been the main source of irrigation in Yuma and without it the irrigation and agriculture would be completely different. Before yuma was dammed off and tamed, the Colorado river was a huge river that was way bigger than it is now in the present day. Due to the great water sources and resources that yuma naturally has to offer it is perfect land to farm on. “However floods prevented any consistent farming of the land.” Something had to be done about the river constantly flooding and keeping the land from being farmed. “The inexperience of farmers caused some problems early on. Some of the less knowledgeable farmers used excessive water. This led to seepage bringing alkali to the surface. Rodents, especially rats and gophers endangered project canals…

    Green Grass Running Water is a novel written by Thomas King in which he explores the implications that colonization has on Indigenous people in a post colonial context. Colonization is a continuous process in which an empire acquires and maintains power by having an unequal relationship with a group of people while taking over their land. In King’s novel he emphasizes that colonization is an ongoing process. Even in a post colonial land, Indigenous people are still being oppressed by their colonizers. One really powerful tactic that oppressors use to maintain the unequal power dynamic is demonstrating a Western norm through pop culture. Western pop culture valourizes the lives of white individuals, which is demonstrated in the heroism in which John Wayne is seen. Doing this enforces the ideology of white supremacy over Indigenous people by having them their after internalize their oppression. In this novel King demonstrates how colonizers are able to maintain their hegemonic control of the individuals they have colonized by having them try to reach the western cultural norms demonstrated through pop culture.…

    In addition to keeping the soil moist and reducing maintenance costs, computer also can utilize sensor to analyze the condition of crops in the field and determine whether pests or diseases are affecting the crops. If sensor detects pests and/or diseases, computers send a notification to the appropriate individual to take corrective action. In some cases, according to Brewster, the discovery of pests might trigger a pesticide to discharge in the affected area automatically (Agriculture: Expanding and Growing).…

    “Irrigating Crops with Seawater” talks about the global problem of finding enough water and land for the world’s population to survive. An estimated 494.2 million acres of cropland is needed just to feed the tropics and subtropics for the next 30 years. However, only close to 200 million acres are available. Therefore, new sources of water and land are needed to grow crops. The writers of this article have been testing the prospect of using seawater in agriculture. This seawater agriculture is when salt-tolerant crops are grown using ocean water for irrigation. Desert areas take up 43% of the surface of the earth and this new agriculture technique can be done in deserts. Hugo Boyko and Elisabeth Boyko first used seawater agriculture after World War II. Many different crops have been tested such as barley and the date palm. The writers of this article however have been testing halophytes, which, is a salt-tolerant plant that can be used for food, forage and oilseed crops. They first gathered several hundred halophytes and began testing these plants in the desert of Puerto Peñasco. They irrigated the plants daily by flooding the fields with seawater from the Gulf of California. The best halophytes produced roughly the yield of alfalfa using freshwater irrigation. In order to show that these halophytes could replace other crops for use they tested to see if the crops could feed livestock. The halophytes have protein and carbohydrates but they contain too much salt. This limits the amount an animal can eat and dilutes the nutritional value. Therefore, the authors decided to use the halophytes as part of a mixed diet for the livestock. The animals’ meat taste was not affected, but the animals eating the halophyte-mixed diet drank more water and produced 10…

    Soiless

    Soilless culture characteristics The limited volume of medium and water availability generally causes rapid changes in the status of water and nutrients. Changes in the medium solution, such as electrical conductivity (EC), pH and nutrients level, should be monitored for the efficient use of water and nutrients. Failures in the careful supervision of fertilisation and/or the accuracy of irrigation are likely to result in severe plant damage and reduced yields. Hydroponics, however, offers several major advantages in the management of both plant nutrition and plant protection, if the right tools are applied and careful management is carried out. There are five important parameters that should be monitored by the grower, employing simple devices and methods. However, the common perception of some of these parameters is not always correct and this can result in some…
