The main theme of this paper is to explain the design and implementation of an Intelligent Condition based Soil Moisture Control System to overcome the prevailing problems in Indian agricultural irrigation system. The system is low cost and reliable in its operation giving the user the flexibility to monitor and control the soil moisture either being near to the system or through remote access using a DTMF decoder circuitry. A remotely located visual studio based GUI software ensures proper statistical and graphical analysis of the sensor outputs acquired by the microcontroller. A radio frequency communication link allows wireless data transactions between the designed system and the remotely located GUI software. The remotely acquired data by the GUI application over a RF communication link can be further preserved in databases like Microsoft Excel, Access etc. and can be logged on to the internet for global access.
