society where digitalisation and technology pervade every aspect of our lives. The importance of technology in agriculture is becoming increasingly apparent with each passing day. Every day, the agriculture industry in India loses ground, affecting the ecosystem's output capability. There is a growing need to address this and return it to higher growth. To improve the farmer's agricultural productivity and profitability through better management, which is relevant to both small and large farms. The goal of this paper is to automate fertiliser control and water flow monitoring.

LITERATURE SURVEY
The study [1] outlines the technological constraints and issues that must be addressed during the deployment of an IoT-based lowscale pilot project in the agriculture area. This study lays forth a conceptual framework for all stages of agricultural product development, including food production, processing, distribution, and retail.
In [2,] P. A. Bhosale and V. V. Dixit present an indigenous low-cost time-dependent microcontroller-based irrigation scheduler that includes a variety of sensors for measuring moisture, temperature, and wind. Using these parameters, this approach generates appropriate actuators (relay, solenoid valves, motor). Through the GSM module, the captured data is sent to the user in the form of an SMS and stored on a memory card.
Advances in greenhouse automation and controlled environment agriculture: A transition to plant factories and urban agriculture[3] explains how a variety of environmental factors interact to allow plants to thrive optimally in various settings.
The proposed system in paper [4] is an investigation of the application of system on chip (SoC) in WSN for greenhouse parameter management and monitoring. The author also addresses the progress of wireless networks and, as a result, the development of conventional sensor nodes, which comprise an I/O interface, memory, processor, transceiver, and battery, as well as sensors.

INTRODUCTION
Agriculture is one of the few industries where technology has not been widely adopted; one of the reasons for this is the precarious state of most farmers in India and other developing countries. Due to two key problems, overpopulation and urbanisation, the scarcity of agricultural products is increasing day by day. Overpopulation will raise total demand for agricultural products, while urbanisation has resulted in the conversion of many agricultural lands into NonAgricultural fields (NA) for infrastructure construction near metropolitan centres. Basically, the agricultural land is shrinking every day, and as a result, the amount of farming is shrinking as well, potentially resulting in a drop in agricultural production. To beat this scenario, the only way is to increase agricultural output by intelligently employing resources. Precision agriculture was born out of the need to reduce waste of readily available resources. The conventional irrigation procedure includes a time-based fertiliser dispensing system, in which farmers fertilise the crop after a certain period of time has passed (typically some days). However, the problem with this strategy is that sometimes the crop does not require fertiliser so early, resulting in excessive fertiliser consumption, and other crops do require fertiliser a little earlier. So, to address this issue, this research proposes an autonomous system that can tell us exactly how much fertiliser is used in the cropping of the soil. This aids in the prevention of overirrigation, which can result in diseases inside the crop in addition to water waste. The second benefit is that it © 2022, IRJET
