Summary:The paper, "Real time automation of agricultural environment", using PIC16F877A and GSM SIM300 modem is focused on automating the irrigation system for social welfare of Indian agricultural system. This system will be useful for monitoring the soil moisture condition of the farm as well as controlling the soil moisture by monitoring the level of water in the water source and accordingly switching the motor ON/OFF for irrigation purposes. The system proposes a soil moisture sensor at each place where the moisture has to be monitored. Once the moisture reaches a particular level, the system takes appropriate steps to regulate or even stop the water flow. The circuit also monitors the water in the water source so that if the water level becomes very low, it switches off the motor to prevent damage to the motor due to dry run. The system also consists of a GSM modem through which the farmer can easily be notified about the critical conditions occurring during irrigation process.
