Farmers are reportedly facing a lack of rain and water. The main aim of the paper is the automatic irrigation solution for farmers. This helps to save them precious time and resources. Conventional irrigation technology requires more human action. Human interference can be reduced to a degree with the proposed automatic irrigation and fertilisation technologies. There is still a chance to reduce risks and make work more meekly thanks to the development of technology. The devices focused on integrated and micro controllers have enormous resolutions to voluminous challenges. By using a sensor micro controller system, the proposed programme accurately controls irrigation systems for agriculture. In the field, sensors are mounted to measure PH of a field and relative humidity that transports the signal to the computer for the calculation of crop water requirements. The population of India exceeds 1.2 billion and the pace of population rises daily, so there will be a significant food issue after 2530 years, so it is important to improve agriculture that can be accomplished by introducing these devices in the region.
