Abstract: This project presents a cost-effective, energy-efficient smart irrigation system tailored for plantation crops such as lemon trees. Built on the ESP32 microcontroller, the system integrates soil moisture and temperature sensors, along with weather data, to enable real-time, automated irrigation based on environmental conditions. Sensor data is processed and transmitted via Wi-Fi to a cloud platform, with monitoring and control available through a Blynk-based mobile application. To ensure wider accessibility, SMS alerts are also incorporated for users with basic mobile phones. The system reduces water consumption and manual labor while promoting healthier crop growth. Designed for scalability and ease of use, it supports sustainable agriculture and empowers farmers through accessible smart farming technology.
