As the population grows, so do the demands of human beings; simultaneously, the material needs for food are also increasing. In order to meet these demands, crop production efficiency has to be improved in manpower- and water-constrained scenarios. It is important that manpower, water, and fertilizers are utilized efficiently to optimize crop production costs. Fortunately, today's technologies and techniques can ensure that this goal can be achieved, and that quality is also maintained. In this review paper, we present a cost-effective automatic smart irrigation system that allows farmers to save water, reduce human effort, and increase crop production. The proposed system combines a simple smart phone application that enables farmers to schedule irrigation and fertilization accordingly. The experimental setup in the farm admeasuring 1 acre of sugarcane crop showed that the water requirement is reduced by 56%, manpower expenses for irrigation are reduced by 90%, and electricity usage is also reduced by 75% compared to conventional methods. This system provides a win-win situation for farmers as well as government agencies that provide water and power to our country.
