The changing of climate directly affects on decreasing agricultural production. Therefore, application of automated system in agriculture activities is potential issue which must be considered. This paper presents error analysis of ON-OFF and ANN controllers which are applied to the automated irrigation system. Controlling of irrigation system used a calculated Penman-Monteith evapotranspiratio...

The conventional irrigation systems tend to waste irrigation water by not considering the upcoming precipitation. The precipitation in India being erratic in nature calls for the use of efficient forecasting methods. This paper proposes a design of irrigation system that employs a weather forecasting algorithm to calculate the water requirement and control irrigation based on soil moisture for ...
