FEATURE STORY
Ways IoT Can Enhance Agriculture
IoT could be set to have the
largest impact on the agricultural
industry. They have systems
that can track everything
from fertilizer quality to
livestock function to crop
productivity, all the way up
to the number of trips the
farm vehicles are taking. This
enables farmers and those
responsible for growing to
decrease waste and increase
their overall revenue potential.
IoT agriculture applications will
give the farmers the tools they
need to increase their volume
to meet the growing
challenges of the population
increases they face. The more
the demand for food rises,
farmers must meet those
needs more effectively, and
IoT smart farming is highly
efficient in assisting with this
as opposed to the more
traditional methods.
How Emerging Smart
Technologies Will
Revolutionize Agriculture
A system can be built with
the Internet of Things that will
monitor crops with sensors
for humidity, light, and
temperature as well as
moisture control in the soil
or irrigation automation. IoT
agriculture applications will
allow the farmer to conserve
their use of water in addition to
optimizing the way treatments
are applied to crops. The
farmers will also be able to
do the monitoring of their
fields from any location.
Smart farming IoT-based
major apps include:
• Drones. Agriculture has
become a major industry to
use drones, which is a good
example of how technology
has evolved. There are both
ground and aerial drones,
which are used for irrigation,
crop health assessing, crop
monitoring, planting, spraying,
as well as field/soil analysis.
Drones benefit farmers due to
the fact they are user-friendly,
save time, have the potential
for yield increases, provide
crop health imaging, and
integrated GIS maps. The
farmers are able to monitor
anything from plant
counting/yield predictions to
the health of the plant, the
height measurement,
chlorophyll measurement,
weed pressure mapping,
and so much more.
• Livestock. Data concerning
livestock well-being, health,
and location for larger farm
owners can be obtained using
wireless IoT apps. This aids
them in recognizing animals
that have become sick in
order to keep them apart from
the herd to prevent disease
spreading and decrease costs
for labor in locating cattle with
the sensors.
• Precision. Precision farming
is among the more famous
of the IoT agriculture
applications. It gives the
farming experience more
accuracy and control with
livestock monitoring, field
observation, automobile
tracking, and inventory
monitoring. Analyzing data
collected by sensors is
precision farming’s goal in
order to be able to react
quickly to circumstances.
• Climate. Farming is affected
greatly by the climate and not
having an understanding of
what the climate will be can
decrease the quantity/quality
of crop production. IoT gives
the farmer the ability to have
real-time weather conditions
at their disposal. There are
sensors placed within the
agriculture fields and outside
gathering environmental data
to be used by the farmer as a
tool to decide what crops will
be right to grow and maintain
in a particular climate
providing them the
opportunity for growth
success.
With the modern technology
of IoT agriculture applications
and their traditional expertise,
the farmers are able to meet
and exceed production
expectations needed for the
ever-expanding population.
