SMART AGRICULTURE USING IOT
Abstract Agriculture industry is developed a lot with the help of
technology, it became data-centered and smarter. The rapid growth of Internet
of Things based technologies reshaped many industries including agriculture.
Such a radical change dismantles existing farming practices and creates new
opportunities along with some challenges. In this article the possibility of
wireless sensors and IoT in agriculture is highlighted, In addition some
challenges are expected to be tackled while integrating this technique with the
traditional methods of farming. The IoT devices and techniques used in
agriculture applications are explained in detail. Based on this article, we
recognise recent trends of IoT in agriculture.
Keywords— Internet of things(IoTs), smart agriculture, sensors, farm lands.
1 INTRODUCTION
Internet of Things is the group of devices with software, sensors, and
networking that enables the communication and sharing of data between the
objects. The benefits which farmers are obtaining by adapting the IoT program
are innumerable. It has helped farmers to reduce costs and increase crop yields.
One of the major purpose of the irrigation system is to provide and maintain the
ideal environment in terms of temperature and soil moisture for the optimum
growth of crops. With the usage of smartphones and computers, users can
access the data stored in the cloud. User can keep track on the crops and able to
control the water, pumps and fans in the control panel of the user interface.
The primary aim of smart irrigation system is to provide and maintain the
optimum conditions for the crops. Through cultivating in an environment with
sufficient water supply and ideal temperature, growth of plants can be improved
and thus the productivity of the agriculture field will increase as well. By using
this technology, we can increase productivity and can feed more people in
future.
IoT transforms the agriculture industry with the advancements and helps
farmers to contend with their challenges. The issues can be addressed by the
innovative applications and therefore, production of the crop, sustainability and
cost effectiveness will be increased.
