Abstract

The growing demand for food in quantity and quality has increased the need to modernize the agricultural sector. In the present scenario, IoT applications in agriculture include real-time monitoring of crops, croplands, environment, precision farming, smart greenhouse, data analytics, etc. Sensors and smart controllers help to estimate soil moisture or plants’ water needs, detect diseases of the crops, monitor weather conditions, etc. Challenges faced in the IoT-enabled agricultural systems are software simplicity, secure data generation, and transmission, lack of supporting infrastructure. But the biggest obstacle is lack of smooth integration with the agricultural industry at present and lack of optimally skilled human workforce along with the need for sensors to work wirelessly and consume low power, better connectivity, remote management, the rectification of complexity in the software, and security. There is also a high demand for fail-proof systems to mitigate the risk of data loss in any faults during operation. A short description ...
