It interacts between objects and things as a shared network with internet connection provided. IoT helps in agriculture field to solve the major problems faced by farmers. In India, agriculture is the main occupation of farmers, due to over population and scarcity of rains. We are facing difficulties in maintaining our daily resources like water, food, crops and so on. To solve these problems we have an idea of this project using IoT with low cost system for analyzing of soil parameters in agriculture field such as soil status, temperature and humidity. This system uses ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, Arduino UNO microcontroller, GSM and sensors using Arduino platform. The system is integrated with GSM for the data transfer through sms to a user mobile phone. Key Words: Arduino UNO, GSM, LM35, DHT11, IoT. 1. INTRODUCTION Crop production takes about 40% of the earth’s land and consumes 85% of fresh water available. To maintain this better irrigation system is necessary. It is possible by analyzing the soil status, which helps farmers to maintain and manage their field more effectively. IoT is the technology, which helps the farmers to give required attention to the farm located far away from their stay. The invention of IoT would create numerous ways that gives powerful potential of agriculture yield and prevent the difficulties that affect the crop productivity. In this project ,three sensors are used such as soil sensor for sensing the soil status whether it is dry or wet and supply water if in dry condition, Temperature sensor i.e., LM35 to sense the temperature of the field and DHT11sensor for sensing humidity. Data sensed by particular sensors are managed and stored at the cloud database. Data collected is transferred to user mobile phone through GSM via SMS.A GSM module having GPRS feature provides information over long distances [1].LCD display to display soil status, temperature and humidity values. Wi-Fi module has integrated TCP/IP protocol with self contained socket, which gives better network access to any microcontroller. Arduino UNO is open-source microcontroller and easy to use. To fulfill the farmers needs IoT plays important role as emerging technology in agriculture field. Information of
