To optimize water use for agricultural crops while also verifying water scarcity in the field, an automated irrigation system was developed. Weed management and control are critical for high-yielding, high-quality crops, and developments in weed control technologies have had a significant impact on agricultural output. Any weed control method that is effective must be both durable and versatile. Despite the variety in field circumstances, robust weed control technologies will successfully manage weeds. Weed control technology that is adaptable can change its strategy in response to changing weed populations, genetics, and environmental conditions. The system includes a distributed wireless network of soil-moisture and temperature sensors, as well as conductive sensors in the plant's root zone. Agate way unit also manages sensor data, triggers actuators, and sends data to an Android mobile device. To control water quantity, an algorithm with temperature and soil moisture threshold values was developed and programmed into a microcontroller-based gateway. The added future of this research is that we are utilising a robot to monitor the condition of the crop to see if it is affected by insects or not. The robot will move around the field, and we will be able to track the crop's health on our device.
