INTEGRATION OF IOT DEVICES AND SENSORS IN AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES

Electronics and Communication Engineering

The agricultural sector faces numerous challenges ranging from climate change to resource scarcity, necessitating innovative solutions to optimize productivity and sustainability. This paper proposes a Smart Agriculture system leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to address these challenges. The primary objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive framework that integrates various IoT technologies such as sensors, actuators, and data analytics to create an intelligent farming ecosystem. By deploying sensors across the farm, real-time data on crucial parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop health can be collected. This data is then transmitted to a centralized platform where advanced analytics algorithms process it to derive actionable insights. The proposed system offers several benefits. Firstly, it enables precise monitoring and management of agricultural resources, allowing farmers to optimize water usage, minimize pesticide application, and improve crop yield. Secondly, by providing real-time alerts and notifications, it empowers farmers to make informed decisions promptly, thereby mitigating risks and enhancing productivity. Furthermore, the system facilitates remote monitoring, enabling farmers to monitor their operations from anywhere using mobile or web applications.
