Abstract

In the development of the nation agriculture plays a significant role. IoT technology helps gather knowledge about environments such as wind, precipitation, temperature, and soil fertility. IoT allows farmers to get connected to their farm from anywhere at any time. Difficulty regarding agriculture has been always hampered; slow down the development of the country. These patterns benefit people in many respects, such as analysis using IoT and artificial intelligence, data sharing, and analytics in an unparalleled way. In this paper, we review IoT implementation in monitoring the environmental conditions of the crops and farms in various agriculture sectors. Additional IoT monitoring, control, and optimization functionality may be used to remotely monitor the control systems or actuators attached to the microcontrollers to ensure that the crop can react promptly as required. In this article, today’s climatic change scenario aims to establish a comprehensive vision of IoT implementation in the farming sector to improve agricultural production in the future, as well as to guarantee the constant supplier of food. We describe the advantages of applying IoT on livestock, weather surveillance, the agricultural warehouse, and the intelligent irrigation technique.
