IoT-Based Smart Agriculture

Abstract

Smart farming is an evolving concept since IoT sensors are capable of providing agricultural field information and then acting on the basis of user feedback. The main factor in improving the yield of efficient crops is the control of environmental conditions. There is a small yard, farmland, or a plantation area for most of us. However, our busy timetable does not allow us to manage it well. But we can easily accomplish it with the use of technology. So, the authors make an IoT-based smart farming system that can control soil moisture. As data has become a critical component in modern agriculture to assist producers with critical decisions and make a decision with objective data obtained from sensors, significant advantages emerge. This chapter explores the current state of advanced farm management systems by revisiting each critical phase, from data collection in crop fields to variable rate applications, in order for growers to make informed decisions save money while also protecting the environment and transforming how food is grown to meet potential population growth.
