In a developing nation like India, most of the population is dependent on agriculture. 60–70% population [1] depends only on agriculture and related sectors. Despite technological development in the entire field, now full attention is required in agriculture system to enhance the production and quality of crops. The production of crops plays a major role in the enhancement of GDP of the country. Quality of food gives the healthy life to the people. Not only human life depends on the agriculture animals and other creatures too depends on agriculture. There are so many factors that can generate good quality of crops, e.g., good quality seed, fertilizers, soils, and water and weather. As the farmers of our country are not so much literate and aware of the technology, as a result, the crop production is not up to the mark. If the farmers can embrace new technology the condition would be different and the agriculture sector can become the major employment source. Application of IoTs can help the farmer to increase the crop yield and there by minimizing the hard work done by them. In this chapter, the main objective is to let the farmers know about their necessary items such as good quality seeds, fertilizers, soils, water, weather etc. They can also know about the market value and portability of their crop. For a good yield setup, how the farmer will know how much water is required, when it is required and how much fertilizers are required, which type of crops they can plant, etc. These objectives can be achieved with the support of advanced technologies like sensors and GSM. IoTs will help in predicting the crop yield, soil quality, soil temperature, water level, and proper timing of crop to be delivered. Therefore, a system needs to be developed to enhance the farming procedure and reducing human effort and thereby increased farming output.
