In the field of agriculture Internet of Things (IoT) plays a vital role for the farmers in a high range with the help of these technologies soil moisture is measured and its accuracy is computed for further validation. IOT Technology has paved the way to gather knowledge about conditions such as wind, humidity, water, temperature, soil fertility and online cultivation tracking to identify weeds, the level of farmers connecting to the farm from everywhere. Wireless sensor network is used to track farms and to manage and automate the harvested farm using microcontrollers. An intelligent computer, namely a cell phone, can allow farmers, at all times and everywhere in the world, to keep up to date with the present conditions in the agricultural field. The use of IOT costs can be minimised and high precision efficiency increased in conventional farming.
