Abstract - Last 10 years have seen a rapid evolution in this
technology. In the United States, ongoing research in precision agriculture has been effectively applied to large agribusinesses at scale. But small farmers do not have the capital resources to invest in expensive monitoring systems. Hence to address these issues, we have designed an Arduino based agriculture monitoring system which operates on GSM network. This system will monitor the humidity levels and surrounding temperature and control the water flow accordingly. The controller activates the relay driver unit when the message is received through GSM and pumps motor by using relay switches. This design can be used for alarming the user via SMS (Short message service) if the moisture level and temperature goes beyond threshold value.

1. INTRODUCTION Agriculture plays an important role in economy and development. The agriculture is in the transition from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture currently. For continuously increasing demand of food necessities, rapid improvement in production of food technology is important. In the paper our main focus is to maintain, control or monitor the agricultural trends or system making it easier for the user, to get data at regular interval about the field. In many areas one person is not enough to monitoring the field status and control things. To improve we have to focus on the agriculture monitoring system and to collect more area information. In agriculture, there are two important factors, first to get information about fertility of soil and second is to measure moisture content in soil. Nowadays for irrigation, different techniques are available which is used to reduce the dependency on rain. And mostly this technique is driven by electrical power and on/off scheduling controlled system. Here we have used sensors to create an agricultural monitoring system like soil moisture sensor, temperature sensor. Soil moisture sensor is basically used to measure the soil moisture level and the temperature sensor is used to keep the track of temperature.GSM sim 900 is being used for sending the data to the user.
