Being a country with the second largest population of 1.3 billion, and nearly 70 percent of its rural resident rely on agriculture as their primary source income, in which 82 percent comprises of the farmers being small and marginal. Issues concerning agriculture have been always hindering the development of the country. The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized every element of the average person's life by making things simpler and affordable. Machine advancements in the context of adaptable Smart Farming IoT are continually changing the substance of horticultural development by improving it, making it more inexpensive, and reducing waste. Environmental measurements and water management are considered to be the two of most important deciding factors for the growth of the any kind of crops. Modern horticulture can be influenced by a combination of traditional methods and advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things and the Wireless Network. Wireless Network collects data from a variety of sources and decides on its premises.
properly monitoring the various present conditions. Live data for different parameters can be seen on Laptops and Smartphones. Multiple sensors are interfaced with the microcontroller to keep an continues check on the real time data. Initially the sensors like temperature, moisture sensors, and light intensity. The temperature-humidity sensor will sense the temperature and humidity around the atmosphere and send it to the microcontroller. The moisture sensorsenses the moisture content in the soil and sends the moisture level of the soil to the microcontroller. In the control section, the received data is verified with the threshold values. If the data exceeds the threshold value the relay turns ON to start the motor and lights. This data is also stored graphically on a local host.

2.2 Reducing the water wastage
The increment demand of water daily has created the huge difference in the supply and demand of the water which has significantly resultant in the drought in semi-arid location.[1] Due to the scarcity of the low quality of the water is used for the purpose of irrigation which eventually affect the total production the crop. The water requirement for the for irrigating the one hectare of the rice field is equivalent to the fulling the requirement of the 100 families for the two years.[2]
Human draw much more amount of water to irrigate theirfield which is even present on their geographical location. Hence, the smart irrigation machine can be installed in the field to address the problem of excessive water waste the smart farming machine
An irrigation system takes care of watering the crop based on the readings taken from various sensors. This system helps in reducing the wastage of water used in irrigation on a day-to-day basis. The project monitors the farm or greenhouse and based upon the readings ofdifferent kinds of sensors like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, UV, IR, soil Nutrients and displays types of messages on the serial monitor about the present conditions so that the farmer can take quick action.

2.3 Approach to solve the problem The project monitors the farm or greenhouse and is based upon the readings of different kinds of sensors like temperature, humidity, soil moisture, UV, IR, and soil nutrients conditions so that the farmer can take quick action. This will increase the quantity and quality of the crops by properly monitoring the various present conditions. Live data for different parameters can be seen on laptops and Smart-Phones. It makes use of sensor networks for noting the soil properties and environmental factors continuously.
