Abstract: The advancement in the Wireless sensor networks (WSN) technology and the applications of Internet of Things (IoT) has driven a great attention in industry as well as in our daily life. This paper focuses on the use of WSN in monitoring agriculture. It includes various features like water management monitoring, GPS based remote controlled monitoring, moisture, temperature sensing, and proper irrigation facilities. WSN technology enables the continuous monitoring of soil properties and environmental factors. Various sensor nodes are deployed at different locations in the farm. Monitoring of different agricultural parameters can be done by any remote device or internet services through interfacing of sensors, Wi-Fi, camera with microcontroller. Smart farming is an emerging concept, as IoT sensors are capable of developing data base about agriculture parameters. This paper aims in making use of evolving technology i.e. IoT and smart agriculture using automation. Monitoring environmental factors is the major aspect to improve the crop yield efficiently
