Agriculture Sector Improvement Implementing IoT

Abstract

The agricultural industry plays an essential  role in overcoming the food scarcity scenarios for food  security globally in the rising population scenario. In the  agricultural sector, mechanization has improved various  crop production, creating a new era for attaining  agricultural precision. With the development of agricultural  equipment, conventional usage of farm machinery has  lately been changed. The realm of precision agriculture has  transformed this breakthrough. The numerous types of  high-quality efficient sensors have been used in the field of  productive irrigation, fungicides, fertilizers and disease  control in diverse plant. This approach has increased  agricultural yield therefore reducing production costs. In  agriculture, the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT)  technology has enabled farmers to relieve themselves by  utilizing Smartphone applications and high-speed internet.  By comparing the data received from a farm with  previously recorded standard charts in the database, these  systems offer all the information required for a farmer to  manage a crop accurately. In order to guarantee precision in  agriculture, this innovation in the automation of agricultural  equipment also enables farmers to increase production,  solving the world's food crisis. This article examines the  progress in the agricultural sector by integrating IoT  technology for the precision farming.
