Abstract	In this research work the environmental conditions of Piper Betle cultivation are considered to be studied carefully and improve using advanced electro-agriculture technology. A mixed-signal precision mirror-amplifier, designed in our previous research work for sensing all crucial parameters of natural environment is taken for farther improvement by designing a complete integrated chip for extensive application, which comprises separate controlling segments for different sensing parameters with necessary drivers. This paper represents the designing of the sensor circuit and the complete chip with packaging according to MOSIS's specifications with the help of MAGIC CAD tool along with MAGIC extraction tool and PSPICE. Also this paper presents the applications in all sizes of betel fields for optimal controlling on environment such as soil moisture and sun shading towards improving the growth i.e. larger betel leaves. Furthermore, additional applications are added in the system those are very crucial to prevent damaging effects from hail and windy weather to save these plants. The entire system is based on off-grid solar power system with 3V and 12V of voltage levels. Results from PSPICE confirmed the proper performance of the chip and proved to be very applicable in this electro-agricultural controlling system. In this paper the methods and results are presented towards the improvement of betel leaf growth.
