Yıldırım Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences JAPS 20162016/02/01 26 1 131-138 1018-7081 NA <p>Automated control systems in irrigation have in recent years made considerable progress, offering a wide range of new options. In this experiment, drip irrigation system automatically governed irrigation in accordance with a water level sensing system in the mini-pan with the help of evaporation. Data acquisition was performed by an electronic circuit, which processed data and then sent the data to the microcontroller (Pic16f877). In the system, a closed loop control system based on sensing water level in the mini-pan was used to activate irrigation, thereby the system started irrigation whenever water level in the mini-pan dropped to the set level. The performance of the automated system can be increased as the irrigation timing in the software is adjusted according to plant growth stages.</p> automated irrigation, drip irrigation, water level sensor, irrigation controller,mini-pan Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum https://thejaps.org.pk/AbstractView.aspx?mid=2016-JAPS-17
