Agriculture is the practice of growing plants, keeping animals, and making goods like food, fibre, and other necessities for human survival. However, the traditional agriculture system is facing many problems such as facing an unpredictable pest’s attack and the effects of climate change that challenging for farmers to maintain consistent production levels. To address these challenges in traditional agriculture, an IoT Enhanced Agriculture Management System was developed, integrating both software and hardware components. This project aims to develop an agriculture monitoring system using multiple sensors, an IoT system and also Arduino-UNO as a microcontroller. IoT which stands for Internet of Things is a network which connect the physical devices such as sensor and actuators with the internet so that the data and information can be exchange without human intervention. The software utilizes Arduino IDE, while the hardware comprises a DHT11 sensor, a PIR sensor, and a soil moisture sensor. A Bluetooth module, connected to the Arduino, the display of readings from the sensos on the Arduino IDE's serial monitor. This system effectively displays temperature, humidity, and soil moisture data on an LCD. A buzzer and LED are included to alert farmers of movements detected by the PIR sensor. This project represents a significant step forward in modernizing traditional agricultural practices and can be further improved by substituting the Bluetooth module with a Wi-Fi module for remote farm monitoring. The project holds potential for contributing to the evolution of traditional agricultural methods
