India is an agricultural country and agriculture is backbone of Indian economy. The optimum use of agriculture resources can lead to a good crop yield. Water plays vital role in agriculture, so optimum utilization of available water is certainly beneficial to get good crop yield and hence profit. And the second important thing for cultivation is fertilizers and feticides, so proportionate usage of fertilizers gives proper growth in plants, good yielding and reduce the expenditure. Saving water and reducing expenditure for fertilizers can achieve profitable cultivation.Particularly rayaseema region known for its papaya and banana cultivation need to employ this method to achieve high yielding and profits. The proposed system, sensor-based irrigation system is able to provide optimum solution by continuously monitoring the parameters like soil moisture, air temperature and fertilize sensors placed in fields with the help of control station and a base station. Wireless sensor network (WSN) uses ad-hoc networks which support flexibility and self-configuration which is beneficial for agricultural application. Data acquired from different sensors is provided to the base station by wireless transmission using Zigbee. Once the data are received at the base station, further data processing and computation requirements for decision making are carried out by using data mining. The result of dataprocessing and computations are utilized for controlling automated drip irrigation system and gives information about condition of the soil. And the same data is sent to farmer mobile through GSM. Hence such enhanced automation for irrigation provides a good electric & water conservation and save the fertilizers with more efficiency.
