The present state of agriculture and its demand is very much different than what it used to be two decades back. Hence, Precision Agriculture (PA) is more in demand to address this challenging demand. With consistent pressure to develop multiple products over the same agricultural land, farmers find PA's adoption the best rescue-based solution with restricted resources. PA accelerates the yield and potentially assists in catering up the demand of scarcity of demands of food. With the increasing adoption of PA-based technologies over farming, there are best possibilities to explore efficient farming practices and better decision-making facilitated by real-time data availability. There isan evolution of various novel technologies to boost agricultural performance, i.e. variable rate technology, Geomapping, remote sensing, automated steering system, and satellite positioning system. Apart from this, it is also observed that Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) have been slowly penetrating this area to acceleratePA's technological advancement. It is noticed that the adoption of sensing technology is a common factor in almost all the techniques used in PA. However, there is no clear idea about the most dominant approach in this regard. Therefore, this paper discusses existing approaches concerning standard conventional PA and sensing-based PA using WSN. The study contributes towards some impressive learning outcomes to state that WSN and IoT are extensive to boost PA.
The Conventional farming that is practiced in India are insufficient in satisfying as the demand is expanding day by day for agricultural products because of expanding population, Therefore, farmers are in high pressure, even despite of efforts, resources, labor, productive output are not getting for farmers. One way to deal with beat this issue is build up a smart system with less cost means by which the wastage of resources and labor necessity could be cut down and in the meantime the farming profitability would be expanded in quality as well quantity. This paper introduces Smart Farming which is one of the applications of Internet of Things (IOT) and uses Wireless Sensor Networks as transmission technology. The main aim of this paper is to reduce the wastage of water, real time monitoring of crop field and sending data to cloud for future references and text messages are send farmers about the field. Smart System is developed using GSM technology and Data is stored in AWS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
