Abstract: In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of the protection and irrigation is important. The project makes the protection and irrigation automated. With the use of low cost sensors and the simple circuitry makes this project is a low cost product, which can be bought even by a poor farmer. This project is best suited for places where water is scares and has to be used in limited quantity and it is used for protection of farm from various attacks. The heart of the project is the microcontroller. Protection of the farm is done by using PIR sensor, Beeper, Electrical fence and Temperature sensor. For irrigation a wetness sensor is used which checks the moisture level of the soil.
