Agriculture is the main source of Indian economy. 16 % of total GDP is depends on agriculture. So, maintaining a proper environment for storing the food grains is important. The food grains are stored in the silos. It is required a automated system which is used for monitoring the quality attributes of agricultural and food products. For increasing the productivity the food industry uses pests which affects the health of the consumers. Here a sensor based monitoring system which maintains the temperature, humidity and a co2 sensor is used to detect the presence of the insects and ultrasonic sensor keeps away the insects from the food grains and also avoids the usage of pests. The information is stored in the cloud and is passed to the mobile device of the silos incharge.
