ABSTRACT
Several issues related to traditional agriculture have hindered the growth of
nation. Thus, solution to this mode of agriculture is adoption of smart agriculture.
Therefore, the aim of this research is to make the agriculture smart by adopting
innovative and advanced technologies such as Internet of things (IoT) and
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) enabled automation in agriculture. In recent
times, IoT and WSN based technologies can be applied in several research fields.
IoT enables various applications employed in crop growth monitoring and
selection of irrigation decision support system. The technology like Raspberry Pi
used recently in irrigation system of agriculture for improvement of crop
productivity. This research paper focuses on various parameters of IoT related to
agriculture such as soil moisture sensor, floodwater detector, temperature tracking
sensor, humidity and light intensity sensor, etc. The sensors are associated to web
server through raspberry pi controller. It detects the each activity of field and
transfer the information to web server. The result outcomes assist the former to
know about the actual scenario of field in real time through buzzer and can
smartly do watering and showering fertilizer to the field in very efficient manner
without trying too hard and quality of the crops will be get improved.

I. INTRODUCTION
The nation India is having huge cultivable land, but
the output produced does not justice to the potential
of nation. It has been observe that, around 60-65% of
the land is under cultivation (The World Bank
Report). In the era of globalization, adoption of digital
technologies has diffused in agricultural to improve
the productivity of agricultural sector; however, some
portion of agriculture, especially irrigation remains a
manual exercise so far. It has been seen that several
factors has affects the plant productivity. The
availability of adequate amount of water is necessary
for overall growth of plants in agricultural sector.
