A Review Study on IoT-Based Smart Agriculture System

Abstract

Agriculture has been going on in every country for ages, and it is also the economic system's backbone, which is declining due to overpopulation and urbanization, hence smart agriculture is necessary for all. Smart agriculture includes the incorporation of sensors, automated monitoring, networking, and data processing capability. The arrival of the accelerated growth of IoT and site-specific farming activities is difficult to increase crop yield and the productive utilization of assets associated with the agriculture procedure. It gives a real-time evaluation of the different crops and environmental conditions by determining the agricultural land and the volume of fertilizers, water, and other inputs needed. This approach empowers our farmers to attain productivity within the right time frame and thus ensures the production of secure and stable non-toxic crops. We studied different wireless network technologies that can be used in agricultural farms for smart purposes. These technologies are used to monitor the parameters of agriculture, i.e., moisture in the soil, humidity, and temperature, etc. Agriculture issues have frequently hampered the development of the region. The main solution for this issue is smart farming by changing the current conventional strategies for farming. The objective of the task is accordingly to make farming smart utilizing, automation, and IoT advancements. These two activities ought to be done by a remote smart unit or Internet-associated computer, and the process is conducted by interfacing sensors, ZigBee, Wi-Fi devices, cameras, etc. This paper represents numerous possibilities and difficulties in the field of IoT-based smart farming.
