Inventors include Uke, Shailaja Nilesh; Shinde, Sandeep Ramrao; Pagare, Parth Nitin; Nikalje, Nikhil Ashok; Nillawar, Gopal Sachin; and Deo, Nilotpal Nilesh.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart plant monitoring and irrigation system using microcontroller (101) integrates soil moisture, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and pH sensors for automatic irrigation control and soil health monitoring. The system comprises a microcontroller (101), a temperature and humidity sensor (102), a soil moisture sensor (103), a raindrop sensor (104), an LCD display (105), a pH sensor (106), a motor driver (107), and an external battery supply (108). The microcontroller (101) collects sensor data, compares readings with predefined threshold values, and controls a 12V diaphragm pump through the motor driver (107). When soil moisture is low and rain is not detected, irrigation is activated, and the pump turns OFF when sufficient moisture or rainfall is detected. The LCD display (105) continuously shows real-time sensor readings and irrigation status. The system provides precision watering, improves plant health, conserves water resources, and maintains proper soil conditions.
