Agriculture plays a vital role in Indian economy. There is a need to provide newest and better technologies to the farmers for the precision agriculture. The proposed system is based on the application of Internet of Things (IoT) in precision agriculture. It has the user friendly mobile app for farmer to control an automated irrigation system, Farm Security system and Farm Expense Records. The system has a distributed wireless network of soil-moisture sensors placed in the root zone of the plants. In addition, a gateway unit processes the sensor information and transmits data to Mobile phone through Server and triggers actuators accordingly. The controlling action has to be taken with the authentication of the farmer; also the farmer can control the water outlet irrespective of the soil conditions. Farm security is provided using wireless sensor network of PIR Sensors that are deployed at the boundaries of the field. When Animal crosses the boundary, buzzer in the field is activated though gateway to frighten the animals and notification is sent to the Smartphone. Farm Expense Record functionality is •provided to control the expenses incurred on farm and past agricultural work data can also be stored in Mobile App. Market place helps farmer to represent their product into the market without involving any agent in between.
