Abstract: This paper proposes automatic irrigation system for sensing soil moisture content using pic (16F887) microcontroller, which was automatically programmed for on and off the motor when the soil moisture content reaches a defined threshold level. Since our proposed system is automatic, human involvement is totally prevented for irrigation purpose. The entire system was programmed using pic simulator IDE setup and fused into pic microcontroller. This proposed frame work was tested for moisture level of various soils. By comparing our system with required soil moisture content table taken from agriculture database, the result shows that 99% accuracy in average of all the sample soils taken for test. Here we tested with three soil types.
