But now due to migration of people from rural to urban there is hindrance in agriculture. So to overcome this problem we go for smart agriculture techniques using IoT. This project includes various features like GPS based remote controlled monitoring, moisture & temperature sensing, intruders scaring, security, leaf wetness and proper irrigation facilities. It makes use of wireless sensor networks for noting the soil properties and environmental factors continuously. Various sensor nodes are deployed at different locations in the farm. Controlling these parameters are through any remote device or internet services and the operations are performed by interfacing sensors, Wi-Fi, camera with microcontroller. This concept is created as a product and given to the farmer’s welfare.

INTRODUCTION TO SMART AGRICULTURE As the world is trending into new technologies and implementations it is a necessary goal to trend up in agriculture also. Many researches are done in the field of agriculture. Most projects signify the use of wireless sensor network collect data from different sensors deployed at various nodes and send it through the wireless protocol. The collected data provide the information about the various environmental factors. Monitoring the environmental factors is not the complete solution to increase the yield of crops. There are number of other factors that decrease the productivity to a greater extent. Hence automation must be implemented in agriculture to overcome these problems. So, in order to provide solution to all such problems, it is necessary to develop an integrated system which will take care of all factors affecting the productivity in every stage. But complete automation in agriculture is not achieved due to various issues. Though it is implemented in the research level it is not given to the farmers as a product to get benefitted from the resources. Hence this paper deals about developing smart agriculture using IoT and given to the farmers. II. LITERATURE SURVEY The existing method and one of the oldest ways in agriculture is the manual method of checking the parameters. In this method the farmers they themselves verify all the parameters and calculate the readings. [1]It focuses on developing devices and tools to manage, display and alert the users using the advantages of a wireless sensor network system. [2]It aims at making agriculture smart using automation and IoT technologies. The highlighting features are smart GPS based remote controlled robot to perform tasks like weeding, spraying, moisture sensing, human detection and keeping vigilance. [3]The cloud computing devices that can create a whole computing system from sensors to tools that observe data from agricultural field images and from human actors on the ground and accurately feed the data into the repositories along with the location as GPS coordinates.[4]This idea proposes a novel methodology for smart farming by linking a smart sensing system and smart irrigator system through wireless communication technology.[5]It proposes a low cost and efficient wireless sensor network technique to acquire the soil moisture and temperature from various location of farm and as per the need of crop controller to take the decision whether the irrigation is enabled or not.[6]It proposes an idea about how automated irrigation system was developed to optimize water use for agricultural
