Smart Farming with IoT: A Case Study

The agriculture sector contributes a great role in the Indian economy. The major problem encountered by the farmer is low yield due to varying infrastructure, poor storage, inadequate access to the market, and timely delivery. The digital transformation is required to change traditional farming to a smart agriculture system using IoT. There are different areas in which IoT can be applied in the agricultural field such as to know the weather conditions, to observe and monitor the field, to analyze the crop health, planting, spraying the fertilizers, etc. By using a huge amount of data, accumulated by IoT smart sensors, the farmers can monitor the weather and soil condition. Sophisticated decisions can be taken to choose the precise fertilizers and pesticides to get a high yield. IoT-based smart farming improves the entire agriculture system by monitoring the field in real-time. Examinations are made on those sensor-empowered IoT frameworks that offer shrewd and keen types of assistance toward smart farming The objective of this chapter is to report a case study of the application of IoT in the agriculture field. Research papers on applications of IoT in the agriculture sector from different publishers are referred to prepare the chapter. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
