INTERNET OF THINGS IN SMART AGRICULTURE: APPLICATIONS AND OPEN CHALLENGES

Purpose of Study: The IoT is an emerging field nowadays and that can be used anywhere in automation, agriculture, controlling as well as monitoring of any object, which exists in the real world. We have to make use of IoT in Agriculture to increase productivity. Agro-industry processes could be more efficient by using IoT. It gives automation to agro-industry by reducing human intervention. In the current scenario, the sometime farmer doesn’t know the current status of the soil moisture and other things related to their land and don’t produce productive results towards crops. The purpose of this research study is to explore the usage of IoT devices and application areas that are being used in agriculture.  Methodology: The methodology behind this study is to identify trends and review the open challenges, application areas and architectures for IoT in agro-industry. This survey is based on a systematic literature review where related research is grouped into four domains such as monitoring, control, prediction, and logistics.  Main Findings: This research study presents a detailed work of the eminent researchers and designs of computer architecture that can be applied in agriculture for smart farming. This research study also highlights various unfolded challenges of IoT in agriculture. Implications: This study can be beneficial for farmers, researchers, and professionals working in agricultural institutions for smart farming. Novelty/Originality of the study: Various eminent researchers have been making efforts for smart farming by using IoT concepts in agriculture. But, a bouquet of unfolded challenges is still in a queue for their effective solution. This study makes some efforts to discuss past research and open challenges in IoT based agriculture

A Study on Data Analysis and Electronic Application for the Growth of Smart Farming

This paper proposed the system development especially for watering the agricultural crops depend upon the WSN. This paper focused to develop and model a control process by joint radars in the agricultural crop along with information management through web and smartphone application. The 3 elements are application of mobile, web and hardware. The first element i.e. hardware was executed and designed in manage box hardware linked to gather information about the crops. Soil humidity radars are used to detect the agricultural field linked to the control box. The 2nd element i.e. web method was web depend method which was executed and modeled to handle the details of field and crop information. This element applied information mining to examine the information for finding perfect soil humidity, moisture level and temperature. The last element i.e. mobile method was used mainly to manage field watering by a mobile method in a phone. This allows manual or automatic control by the controller. An automatic control uses information from soil humidity radars for watering the crops. The user may choose the manual method for watering the field in the system control method. The method may send notifications by LINE API for the line app. The method was tested and executed in Northeast India. The outputs displayed the executions to be helpful in the field of agriculture. The humidity level of the soil was appropriately maintained for improving manufacturing in agriculture, growth of vegetables and decreasing cost. Therefore, this paper displays the driving agriculture field by digital creativity

Time of chemical treatments prediction in agricultural production based on Data mining techniques using wireless communication systems

Успешно одређивање временског периода у коме су остварени услови за појаву болести и временског тренутка у коме је потребно обавити хемијске третмане представља комплексан проблем због сложености креирања предикционих модела чији је задатак дефинисање веза између појаве болести и тренутних метеоролошких услова. Тачност предикције времена хемијских третмана директно утиче на економичност пољопривредне производње и количине потребних пестицида, те доприноси заштити животне средине, као и здравијим пољопривредним производима. Спроведеним истраживањем је креирано софтверско решење, базирано на примени data mining техника и бежичних комуникационих система, чији је задатак прикупљање метеоролошких и просторно-временских параметара, на основу којих се врши предикција остварености услова за појаву биљних болести, а самим тим и предикција времена хемијских третмана. Развијено решење је затвореног типа, односно у оквиру истог се врши прикупљање потребних података, обрада података у циљу креирања предикционих модела и примена тих модела за предикцију времена хемијских третмана. Како би се утврдила тачност предикције, извршено је тестирање добијених предикционих модела за креиране скупове података. Закључено је да тачност предикције износи 93,71%, што оправдава коришћење система заснованог на data mining техникама и бежичним комуникационим системима за предикцију времена хемијских третмана
