The sensed soil moisture content from the EC-5 sensor node will be transmitted to the coordinator via
2.5GHZ wireless signal. The coordinator will transmit the data to the computer using RS232 interface. The key components used in the proposed system are low cost and more flexible. The locally developed MPC82G516A microcontroller consumes low power due to its 1-T instruction time. In addition, the EC-5
sensing electrode also has advantages of easy installation and replacement in the farm. The developed system provides a
better data transmitted and processed wirelessly and it can serve as a basis for efficient irrigation scheduling.
