Laos is
an agricultural based country. As agriculture is the main source of food for
any country, it is important to have a proper irrigation system. This paper
shows a design of automatic irrigation system based on android application
using Raspberry Pi microcontroller, soil moisture and temperature sensor to
help a famer to control and monitor a farm. This work facilitates the farm
irrigation by switching the pump motor ON/OFF through android cell phone. This
automatic irrigation system has a low cost and can be affordable by many Lao
farmers. The study shows that the system is useful to provide optimal amount of
water for increase the productivity of crop.
