Abstract
A wireless sensor network (WSN) to automaticallyirrigate the crops using soil moisture content values obtainedfrom the soil moisture sensor is designed. Gravity-feed dripirrigation is actuated according to the needs of the crop byusing a relay to on a solenoid valve when the soil is dry, whichis determined by soil moisture content below 60%. End devicescommunicate with the Coordinator via XBee communicationlinks.
