Agriculture is the basic industry for economic growth and development. The growth in demand of crops is a result of a rapid increase in the world population. For growth and cultivation of crops, parameters including fields and growing condition of plants are vital. Farmers have usually applied regular strategies for all crops which have led to less yield for some specific crops. [1-3] These specific crops need specific conditions, and in this regard, smart agriculture management system can grow crops under specific conditions. Smart agriculture management system consists of monitoring and controlling of environmental variables monitoring either automatic or remote, based on ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module and IoT technology. Environmental variables including temperature, humidity, light intensity, air quality etc. can reflect the environment condition inside the greenhouse. These environmental variables can be monitored by using various environmental sensors placed inside the greenhouse which are managed as a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSN is a network composed of nodes which transmit or receive data using wireless transmission technologies. WSN plays an increasingly vital role in constructing a smart agriculture management system because farmers require to capture the real-time environment data to develop an effective strategy for improving crop yields. These sensors can be powered and then used to transmit real-time data to ESP8266 which can then analyze and process the provided data. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be connected to Internet using Wi-Fi Router, and then real-time data fetched by these sensors can be transmitted to IoT platform periodically[4,5]. Electronic devices with IoT technology are used increasingly nowadays such as smart television, refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner etc., which can connect to internet and transmit data to users.
