Smart Farming – IoT in Agriculture

Abstract

IoT is a revolutionary technology that represents the future of communication & computing. These days IoT is used in every field like smart homes, smart traffic control smart cities etc. The area of implementation of IoT is vast and can be implemented in every field. This paper is about the implementation of IoT in Agriculture. IoT helps in better crop management, better resource management, cost efficient agriculture, improved quality and quantity, crop monitoring and field monitoring etc. can be done. The IoT sensors used in proposed model are air temperature sensor, soil pH sensor, soil moisture sensor, humidity sensor, water volume sensor etc. In this paper I surveyed typical agriculture methods used by farmers these days and what are the problems they face, I visited poly houses for further more information about new technologies in farming. The proposed model is a simple architecture of IoT sensors that collect information and send it over the Wi-Fi network to the server, there server can take actions depending on the information.
