Abstract: Sowing machine should be suitable to all farms, all types of corps, robust construction, also is should be reliable, this is basic requirement of sowing machine. Thus we are designing sowing machine which is operated manually but reduces the efforts of farmers thus increasing the efficiency of planting also reduces the problem encountered in manual planting. For this machine we can plant different types of seeds also . This also increases the planting efficiency and accuracy. We are designing it with easily available materials thus it will be cheap and very usable for small scale farmers. For effective handlingof the machine by any farmer or by any untrained worker we simplified its design. Also its adjusting andmaintenance method also simplified . It also enables grass cutting in a uniform ratio and ,it can also tillage the land for sowing seeds. Now a day’s water is becoming very precious due to scarcity in obtaining clean water for domestic purpose including irrigation. In order to optimize the use of water, mechanism to develop water conversation is the need of the hour. Also, automation in agricultural systems is a necessity to optimize water usage, reduce water wastage, and to implement modern technology in agriculture systems. Soil moisture sensor is a novel device which senses the moisture content in the soil, and with suitable mechanism allows water to be irrigated depending on the moisture content of the soil. This allows flow of water or stoppage of water to the plants by using an automated irrigation system. The device consists of an Arduino board, which is the micro controller which activates the water pump and supplies water to plants through Rotating Platform Sprinkler. A submersible motor pump is used for this purpose of pumping water. Necessary tunings for pumping and supplying water is arranged dependingon the consumption of water. This involves a power supply of 2.5 V to 6V. Soil moisture sensor is inserted in the soil which contains a probe to measure the moisture content of the soil.
