“…Providing visual monitoring to growers can prevent crops from getting damaged by intruders, ensure the field conditions or enable the detection of pests attacks remotely. Although there are plenty of devices which can be exploited for building a real-time visual monitoring system, deploying them in a wide area and over wireless channels can be challenging [77], [78], [79].…”

This paper provides a survey on the adoption of LoRa in the agricultural field, and reviews state-of-the-art solutions for Smart Agriculture, analyzing the potential of this technology in different infield applications. In particular, we consider four reference scenarios, namely irrigation systems, plantation and crop monitoring, tree monitoring, and livestock monitoring, which exhibit heterogeneous requirements in terms of network bandwidth, density, sensors' complexity, and energy demand, as well as latency in the decision process. We discuss how LoRa-based solutions can work in these scenarios, analyzing their scalability, interoperability, network architecture, and energyefficiency. Finally, we present possible future research directions and point out some open issues which might become the main research trends for the next years.

“…Each hectare marked with a black square or rectangle presents a star topology network with a receiver at the center of four or five transmitting traps (nodes). Each nearby trap (node) can be connected to a central gateway so that all data packets are aggregated to it without coordination between them [60,61]. The LoRa transmitters were initially placed over the trap at a height of 5 m and the LoRa transceiver fixed at a height of 20 m over a tower; each tower was placed at the middle of a hectare (square center).…”

Fruit flies cause production losses in mango orchards affecting fruit quality. A National Campaign against Fruit Flies (NCFF) evaluates farm status using the fruit flies per trap per day index (FTD). Traps with attractant are installed manually within orchards in Mexico, but counting the flies trapped every week requires excessive numbers of trained personal. Electronic traps (e-traps) use sensors to monitor fruit fly population, saving labor and obtaining the real-time orchard infestation. The objective of this work was to acquire an image within a e-trap at 17:00 when an insect was detected and binarize the information in real-time to count the number of flies. Each e-trap was implemented with a polyethylene PET bottle screwed to a tap containing an ESP32-CAM camera. E-traps from several hectares of mango trees were sampled and transmitted through WSN wireless sensor networks. This original system presents a star topology network within each hectare with the long range LoRa transceiver at the central tower. It receives the fly count from five e-traps and finally transmits data to the house tower end point. Another contribution of this research was the use of a DJI mini2 for acquiring the e-trap data, and the 8-ha flight took 15 min and 35 s. This period can be reduced if the drone flies higher.

“…On the Earth, oceans hold 97% of all water, but it is saline. The other three percent of water is fresh, among which 2% to 3% of the water is in the form of glaciers [31,32]. Out of three percent, half percent of freshwater is present as surface water, and the remaining freshwater is groundwater.…”

The agricultural industry is getting more data-centric and requires precise, more advanced data and technologies than before, despite being familiar with agricultural processes. The agriculture industry is being advanced by various information and advanced communication technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT). The rapid emergence of these advanced technologies has restructured almost all other industries, as well as advanced agriculture, which has shifted the industry from a statistical approach to a quantitative one. This radical change has shaken existing farming techniques and produced the latest prospects in a series of challenges. This comprehensive review article enlightens the potential of the IoT in the advancement of agriculture and the challenges faced when combining these advanced technologies with conventional agricultural systems. A brief analysis of these advanced technologies with sensors is presented in advanced agricultural applications. Numerous sensors that can be implemented for specific agricultural practices require best management practices (e.g., land preparation, irrigation systems, insect, and disease management). This review includes the integration of all suitable techniques, from sowing to harvesting, packaging, transportation, and advanced technologies available for farmers throughout the cropping system. Besides, this review article highlights the utilization of other tools such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for crop monitoring and other beneficiary measures, such as optimizing crop yields. In addition, advanced programs based on the IoT are also discussed. Finally, based on our comprehensive review, we identified advanced prospects regarding the IoT, which are essential tools for sustainable agriculture.
