With the use of appropriate actuators like sprinklers, air vent controller and lighting mechanisms have been set up to stimuli a response to the thresholds of the sensors, Additional features which are included in the system also include storing the in a database, making a collection of the data base, using the accumulated data, to perform predictions and analytics. This project is done with the aim to make improvements in the current agricultural practices by making use of modern technology and thereby increasing the yield to make the agriculture system more efficient. This is the model for a smart Greenhouse system. The aim of it is to enhance the current agricultural practices being used by the farmers and help them earn more. The model reduces the amount of manual inspection required alongside the benefits of a greenhouse which include, providing a close and safe structure which can protect the plants from the extreme weather conditions ultraviolet radiations, wind, hailstorm and insect and pest attacks. For the irrigation of fields in agriculture it is carried out using an automatic drip irrigation, which operated according to the soil moisture threshold which is set before, so that optimal amount of water is applied to the plants. Based on the data from a soil health card, a proper amount of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and minerals are applied to the crop using a drip system technique. By making the use of ultrasonic sensors, a proper water management tanks are constructed and are filled with water after measuring the current water level by making use of an sensor which is ultrasonic, The plants are also provided with the requisite amount of wavelength during the night by mak
