Abstract: Irrigation has been the highest priority in economic development of India, since, 1947. Due to the wide variation in climatic and geological conditions, our country experiences severe drought in one area while some other part experiences flood. Thus, water available for irrigation has become a precious liquid. Farmers are severely affected by these extreme conditions. Farmers always use fertilizers and natural manures evenly throughout a large field without considering the regional land and micro-climatic conditions. Our venture proposes a hybrid and hybrid wired/remote system way to deal with run this accuracy horticulture cultivates that includes microclimate observing and zone based water system control framework for minimal effort, proficient and viable rural ranch administration.
