Abstract
Agriculture is backbone of any country. About 60% of our country's population works in agriculture or the primary sector. It contributes more to our country's GDP. It employs the majority of India's population. The internet of things research presents a framework in which farmers may obtain extensive information on the soil, crops growing in specific areas, and agricultural yield and productivity. By utilizing resource optimization and smart planning, this technology-based farming solution will assist farmers in making wise agricultural decisions. The development of IOT based intelligent Smart Farming using smart devices is changing the agriculture production by not only increasing the quality and yield but also to make farming cost effective. The goal of this smart Agriculture or farming is to get live data like temperature, soil moisture and humidity to monitor the surrounding environment. All of this is accomplished with the use of temperature, humidity, and moisture sensors. The system being proposed by this paper is done using microcontroller and various sensors. This system is capable of monitoring the parameters in various soil conditions.
