absence of water resource and labor. To reduce wastage water resource and labor has lead expanded requests on automating applications in the field of agriculture to reduce the power, water and improves the yield. Various parameters are inculcated for the drip irrigation system automation. System node incorporates sensors to node like soil dampness sensor, Atmospheric humidity sensor, temperature sensor, soil pH sensor. Wireless sensor network for data collection at various specified points on the farm field. Using remote advancements in the field of cultivating have a ton of specialized challenges, for example, improving battery life, long distance data transmission, secure data transmission, transfer speed of system, data misfortune, data transmission rate and minimal cost.
the problem of the water wastage, man power and increase productivity but it will also raise many problems like emitter clogging the drip emitter causes the plant to dried out, pipe breakage causes the loss of water, wireless sensor network implemented in the farm has issues such as data loss in network, short range data transmission, and more power consumption at sensor nodes. The problem with the emitter clogging can be predicted by using the flow sensor and the pressure sensor, whenever there is clogging in the emitter which automatically increases the pressure at the end of pipe and measured using the pressure sensor in terms of bars and flow rate decrease will be detected using the flow meter sensor. The pipe breakage is predicted when the pressure decrease below the normal threshold pressure. Node MCU (ESP8266) is used to create the wireless sensor network which creates a high speed and secure network compared with Zigbee and Bluetooth. The Wi-Fi network avoids the data loss while sending data from the sensor nodes to coordinator node. Wireless sensor nodes are secure with high data transmission rate and long range data transmission.
Automation is done mainly to save the water resource for future and minimize the man power automation on drip irrigation comes into picture. Automation concentrated on the saving water by providing the necessary amount of water to each plant on the farm. The watering to plant is done timely based on the soil moisture, detecting the trespasser to the farm field, crop growth viewing using camera, soil quality and acidity information to apply fertilizers. Automation makes efficient water resource utilization for the farm field. This drip irrigation automation is also having problem like emitter blockage due to chemical used, hardness of the water source, biological factor and dust, pipe breakage due to the exposure to sunlight become brittle and breaks easily or due to trespasser or animals. Wireless sensor nodes consume more power even on the idle condition makes frequent changing of the battery for the nodes.

1.INTRODUCTION The agriculture was started thousands of years back. Agriculture provides the major contribution to the Indian Economy. Agriculture is the basic source of revenue for more than 60 per cent of India’s population. Agriculture provides 50 per cent of employment to the countries labor force. The 18 per cent of Gross domestic product (GDP) of India is accounted from agricultural sector. Water source for agriculture in India is from rainfall, ground water, canal irrigation. Due to lack of rainfall or insufficient rainfall or uncertainty in rainfall is difficult to depend on the rainfall only. Ground water source is declining step by step because of the lack ground water recharging process. Canals are mainly base on the river water source which in turn connected with rainfall. Increase demand for the food products due to exponential growth of population in India. Creating work force for larger population is declining due to the irregular rainfall or unseasonal rainfall because of this reason predicting the rainfall is becoming difficult to the farmers those who are mainly depend on the rainfall.

Basically internet of things works based on the sensors. There are different sensors available on the market for collecting the data. The major used sensors for agriculture are the soil moisture sensor for finding the soil wetness to make decision of motor to ON/OFF. Temperature and humidity sensor data is used to get the current weather condition on the farm field. Passive infrared sensor is used find the trespasser to the farm field. PH sensor is helped to collect the acidity data of the farm field. NPK is used get the quality of the soil based on which fertilizers are applied to the field. The Wireless sensor network is implemented on the farm field to get the sensor figures from the different part of the
