This paper presents Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based intelligent control systems for effective irrigation scheduling. The proposed ANN based controller is prototyped using MATLAB. The input parameters like air temperature, soil moisture, radiation and humidity are modelled. Then, using appropriate methods, ecological conditions, evapotranspiration and type of crop, the amount of water needed for irrigation is estimated and then associated results are simulated.
