In this paper we address the issue of lack of a versatile irrigation control system, and discuss the design and implementation of a wireless nodal irrigation system which works on the basis of soil moisture levels. The said system monitors the soil moisture at fixed nodes and relays the information of moisture content to the control node wirelessly and irrigates the nodes which have a deficit of water. The sensors can be configured to work with various sensitivities and for different levels of water. The aim is to develop a cost effective and easy to use system which can be set up and used quite comfortably with any existing type of irrigation system with minimal modifications. And that, the implementation of an automated irrigation system such as this saves a lot of time for a typical farmer, which could be invested into other avenues such as increasing the yield and pest control. © 2006-2017 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
