Internet of Things (IoT) has been proving its vital role across the industries, retail, health care, military, manufactures and many more. Among the various industries, the one sector it is quickly catching up with is the agriculture. With the concept of smart farming and digital India, it is gaining popularity like never before and is coming with the potential to offer high precision crop control, irrigation, data collection, automation in farming, storage and food chain. In this paper IoT based sensor network for agricultural use is designed. This sensor node consists of temperature, soil moisture, soil pH sensor and plant growth monitoring. These all sensors are connected to each other by wireless sensor network based on Xbee and will convey data to web server where farmers can access all data on his smartphone. This system also monitors and maps water storage resources in village for irrigation. The paper gives solution of two crucial issues ubiquitous, viz irrigation and productivity in the agriculture. With the advent of technology in agriculture, this problem can now be resolved with resources such as automated irrigation systems and plant monitoring.

The Koregaon village in Satara District of Maharshtra state in India. This small village of Population – 1200, with 94% literacy and occupation of Farming, Milk production. Currently in Koregaon 350 Hectares of area under cultivation with crops like Onion, Jawar, Bajara, Sugarcane etc. Though Satara district (Total Average 919mm) receives good amount of rainfall but Koregaon is among few villages which are suffering from water scarcity. Cropping pattern in this village is dependent heavily on the monsoon rain.

Further planning of cropping pattern for the entire village would benefit the individual farmers and also resolve disputes over utilization of common natural resources and managing them in most efficient way. These systems provide data gathered by  sensors giving the farmers a holistic view of performance and helps schedule servicing; prevent yield-sapping breakdowns, increasing crop productivity by way of managing and controlling the activities such as crop water management and observation service.
