SMART FARMING USING IOT, A SOLUTION FOR OPTIMALLY MONITORING FARMING CONDITIONS

Abstract

Recently, agriculture has undergone a change thanks to the arrival of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Smart farming uses Internet of Things (IoT) devices to remotely monitor and control farming activities in real time. This study investigates the application of IoT in agriculture to boost overall efficiency, cut down on resource waste, and increase output. IoT-enabled smart farming is transforming conventional agricultural methods by reducing crop loss, boosting productivity, and saving farmers money. The basic idea is to establish a network of sensors across the fields to collect real-time data on critical environmental elements such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light intensity, and even pest activity. The idea is to deploy technology that can monitor the crop and alert farmers through many channels. With the device's real-time data on soil moisture, temperature, and humidity from their farmland, farmers will be able to make more informed decisions. The device provides farmers with real-time data on temperature, humidity, and soil moisture from their farmland, enabling them to make decisions that would optimize crop production and conserve resources like water. The study looks at the particular kinds of sensors used in smart farming, emphasizing their uses and informative value. It also looks at how data collecting is used to automate important agricultural procedures, such as irrigation systems, which reduce waste and increase water efficiency.
