Farmers have been using irrigation techniques through manual control. This manual process is time consuming and usually results in water wastage. The study is about the construction of a prototype automatic plant irrigation control system. The device is assembled using ARDUINO UNO and equipped with a soil moisture sensor to detect its condition. In this automated system, irrigation will automatically take place when there is an intense requirement of water, as suggested by its moisture content and will automatically turn off when the soil finally received the amount of water it needs. The testing of the device under different soil conditions was interpreted based on the sensor input value of the microcontroller. The device worked and functioned properly according to its program.
