Water has been needed in each and every field. The purpose of this project is to provide embedded based system for soil monitoring and irrigation,, not only to reduce the manual monitoring of the field but also to help save water. The soil is monitored using hygrometer that is soil moisture sensor and ambient condition near soil is observed using DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. Obtained sensor values are passed to cloud via NodeMCU, which includes firmware based on ESP8266 Wi-Fi SOC. Based on the comparison with predefined values, appropriate crop suitable for the soil is determined and informed to the farmer via android mobile application. The farmer can cultivate the suggested crop to ensure increase in production. 1.INTRODUCTION India’s major source of income is from agriculture sector and 70% of farmers and general people depend on the agriculture. In Indian irrigation system the famers choose mostly manual methods such as drip, terraced, ditch irrigation system. In order to improve to the crop productivity there is an urgent need to change manual method to automation. Also consider the water availability throughout India it is one of the valuable resources to protect and save for future needs. Embedded based automatic irrigation system is suitable for farmers which is available at low cost and easy to install. This system should help farmer to provide the water to crop at stringent time and quantity. Automation irrigation system observes the moisture sensors and temperature variations around the crop area that’s gives a precise time to turn the motor ON and OFF. So Automation avoids human errors and check soil moisture level. The Internet of things (IoT) is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded with electronics, Internet connectivity, and other forms of hardware (such as sensors), these devices can communicate and interact with others over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled. . [1][2][3][4] It is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers ( UIDs ) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to- human or human-to-computer interaction. 1.1 Objectives The main objective of Smart Irrigation System and Crop Prediction is:  Minimize cost and time of manual monitoring.  Optimize the irrigation water use.  Enable growers to take adequate irrigation actions based upon water availability and crop needs, which will minimize water usage and pumping energy.  Suggest the crops most suitable in accordance with the surroundings: 1.2 Problem Statement In the case of traditional irrigation system water saving is not considered. Since, the water is irrigated directly in the land, plants under go high stress from variation in soil moisture, therefore plant appearance is reduced. The absence of automatic controlling of the system result in improper water control system. The major reason for these limitations is the growth of population which is increasing at a faster rate. At present there is emerging global water crisis were managing security of water has become a serious job. This growth can be seen in countries which have shortage of water resources and are economically poor, Thus a serious problem in agricultural area. So we want to Design a Smart Irrigation support system that operate automatically by sensing moisture content of the soil and sending the values to a data store comparing it and returning appropriate information to the farmers using app. 2. HARDWARE PLATFORM USED 1. Soil Moisture: Precision soil moisture has chosen shown in which consists two probes that are inserted in to soil. When the current pass through the probes, the soil contains low moisture offer a less resistance and passes high current. That is variable resistance is the parameter to identify the level of soil moisture
