dc.description.abstractEfficient water utilization is the dire need of the present era. Now a day, micro irrigation system is operated manually which causes lesser efficiency than optimum due to human error. The actual crop water requirement is judged by automatic or smart irrigation system and irrigates the field accordingly with optimum efficiency so the human error can be minimized. Therefore, present study is emphasized to develop the low cost user friendly smart irrigation controller which can be easily operated worldwide using web based mobile application and evaluate the developed system for cotton and groundnut crop. The smart irrigation controller was developed using Arduino Mega 2560 as a controller, NodeMcu for internet connection, digital flow meter for water flow measurement, relay for ON/OFF solenoid valve and motor and LCD for display real time irrigation status. To control and monitor the system remotely web based mobile application was developed which calculate the crop water requirement automatically. The correction factor of flow meter was obtained as 0.598 during validation for field condition. Another thing is performance of emitters play a major role in uniform distribution of water. The hydraulic performance of 8 lph emitters was tested at operating pressure of 0.75 to 2.00 kg/cm2 . Value of CU, CVm, EU and DU were obtained as 98.75 %, 0.0149, 97.43 % and 98.06 %, respectively which falls under excellent and very good category for emitters as per the ASABE standard at 1.00 kg/cm2 operating pressure. Performance evaluation of the developed smart irrigation controller was carried out for cotton and groundnut crops with four different crop growth stages, the results of t-Test for smart irrigation controller were found non-significant which indicates no difference between calculated and measured water volume. Hence, developed smart irrigation system can be considered as best for irrigation. The developed controller is very easy to use, eco-friendly and user friendly as well as the estimated cost of smart irrigation controller was ₹ 2650.00 which is very less as compared to other controller available in the market having less features than the developed controller.en_US
