Abstract: The Automated Irrigation and Fertigation System is the scheme designed for the automation in the agriculture. The traditional irrigation system as well as the fertilizer application system is modified to achieve modern approach of automation. Automation provides the less human interference, reduced cost as well as the remote access. This system uses mainly the ARM7 (LPC2148), Raspberry-pi and zigbee modules. The humidity, soil moisture and temperature sensors are used in this system. The sensor part is controlled by the ARM7. There is function of the controlling the fertigation pump via E-mail, this part is organized by the Raspberry-pi. The zigbee modules which are known for the short range communication are used for the communication between the raspberry and the controller. There are mainly two sections one is the field section which consists ARM7, zigbee and sensors whereas the second section is the control section which includes the raspberry pi and the zigbee. This scheme we are going to design is helpful not only for the small/ big farms but also for the greenhouses and the home gardening systems.
