Integration of IoT Based Sensor System for Smart Agriculture Monitoring and Optimization

Internet of Things (IoT) Technology has created opportunities for developing intelligent systems in different segments. Agriculture is the most significant beneficiary potential of IoT. IoT-based sensor systems in agriculture help monitor parameters affecting plant growth and health. This data can assist in making better decisions around essential parts of agricultural procedures, like when to rinse or not, what pest needs attention, and where you have already fertilized. This research paper aims to develop an IoT-based system for monitoring and optimization in intelligent agriculture. Wireless sensors collect data on soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Then, sensor nodes are connected to a central gateway that gathers and processes the data. The processed data is sent to the cloud server for storage and analysis. This system also has an interface where farmers can access this data and see their crops’ conditions (present location). It also suggests how adjustments should be made regarding irrigation and fertilization according to the data collected. This will enable farmers to save time and input costs by applying the exact amount of water or fertilizers per their requirements.
