• Abstract:

  Agricultural production in Brazil is one of the main activities responsible for the values ​​of the country's trade balance. Throughout history, the agriculture sector in Brazil has undergone several transformations.

  Currently, these transformations still occur, in addition to guaranteeing continuity to the transformations in technical development that occurred from the 20th century onwards, such as the mechanization of production and the modernization of activities. With this modernization, it is notable that some systems such as irrigation require even more automation and less human intervention, making the process more reliable and assertive. This way, we approach how an irrigation system can be developed for irrigation control, ensuring greater productivity. The results obtained complied with the proposal of the work, in which it was evident that the developed system was effective in its operation and control of soil moisture.
