Abstract: In this paper, we have proposed the system for monitoring the growing status of the Grape plants continuously and intimate the agriculturist using wireless sensor network (WSN). The upsurge increase in the technological and scientific innovation makes advancement in agricultural field. But in practice, cultivator faces too much effort in the farmland. This paper makes eases the work of the farmer in cultivated land through the usage of different kind of sensors. The humidity sensor will compute the moisture level in the corn field, if the level decreases, then it automatically switches ON the DC motor. Another sensor is Water level sensor will anticipate the water level, if the water level aloft the level then it switches OFF the motor. All the particulars of farmland are sending to the farmer through GSM and revel in the LCD screen. The temperature sensor will find the intensity of heat present in the soil. PH sensor is used to find the soil alkalinity which is essential for plant nutrition. With this less cost and energy utilization, WSN is a hopeful method for harvesting the grape crop and also improves the quality of the Grape crop and reduces the usage of pesticides, thereby increasing the overall profits for the farmers.
