Agriculture remains the sector which contributes the highest to India’s GDP. But, when considering technology that is deployed in this field, we find that the development is not tremendous. Now a day’s there is huge enhancement in technologies which have a significant impact on various fields like agriculture, healthcare etc. Agriculture is the primary occupation in our country. India’s major income source is depending on agriculture therefore the development of agriculture is important. In today also most of the irrigation system are operated manually. The available traditional techniques are like drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation etc. These techniques are need to be combined with IoT so that we can make use of water vary efficiently. IoT helps to access information and make major decision making process by getting different values from sensors like soil moisture, water level sensors, water quality etc. This paper focuses primarily on reducing the wastage of water and minimizing the manual labor on field for irrigation so that you can saving time, cash and power of the farmer.
