Abstract: In response to global food security challenges and the necessity for sustainable farming practices, this paper introduces a Smart Agriculture Management System utilizing IoT and sensor technologies to enhance agricultural efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. The system comprises a network of crop sensors, soil moisture sensors, and humidity sensors that continuously monitor soil and crop health in real-time. By leveraging IoT connectivity, the system facilitates the collection and analysis of crucial data, enabling precise and timely decision-making for farmers. This architecture integrates cloud-based data storage and analytics platforms, processing and visualizing sensor data to provide actionable insights via user-friendly interfaces. Automated irrigation systems, governed by real-time soil moisture data, optimize water usage, thereby reducing waste and increasing crop yields. Additionally, predictive analytics, utilizing historical and real-time data, offer recommendations for fertilizer application and pest management, ultimately minimizing chemical usage and promoting crop health. Field trials affirm the system's efficacy in improving resource management, crop quality, and farm profitability. The implementation of smart technologies exemplifies the transformative potential of IoT and sensors in revolutionizing agricultural practices, fostering sustainability, and addressing the pressing challenge of feeding a growing global population.
