Abstract: Agriculture is main source of livelihood of people. It provides food as well as large employment. So modernization of agriculture is important because traditional framing is unable to boost up the crop yield. Therefore farmer start to utilize the various technology to achieve better yield and reduce the required man power. Water is a precious natural resource, a basic human need and a prime national asset. Rapid development of human civilization and advances of scientific and technological innovations are changing the condition of life on earth, giving rise to basic transformations of environment. In India, the growth of population is about 2% per year. It is essential that food production should increase about 2.5% per year to provide a better food intake. The available water resources are to be optimally connected and beneficially utilized with appropriate priorities of use. Therefore The real time values of soil moisture, air humidity, temperature and water level in the soil are wirelessly transmitted using wireless technology. At the same time, the pest and diseases have increased and insects are responsible for major kinds of damage to growing crops. It directs injury to the plant, which eats leaves or fruit, or roots. Most vegetable crops are subject to pest damage. So protection from insect attack to the crop is essential for better production.
