Abstract Agriculture is the basic source of living in India, But due to a lack of information and experience, farmers sometimes Face problems So, we decide to work on this diverse topic and come up with a project agriculture Environment Monitoring system using the Android’ in which the temperature and moisture will be evaluated and analyzed. Climate changes had a significant impact on agriculture products .therefore a number of new technologies are being created to conduct smart agriculture in order to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural goods. The project includes a Soil moisture sensor, Humidity sensor is used to measure soil parameters. A water motor will be present which will be automatically turned on if less water content is found in the soil. This Project can start out to be revolutionary in the Indian agriculture field. The suggested method aids in the process of remote monitoring and water conservation. A GUI was elaborate for the android device to get all the parameters of the agriculture environment and we can see the parameter at present time.

Key Words: Smart Agriculture, humidity sensor, ultrasonic sensor, temperature sensor, android device, Arduino,node MSU, relay switch, soil moisture sensor.
