IoT based Agricultural Crop Protection

Abstract: Crop monitoring is just harvesting the crop to get the best yield possible with the resources available. However, nowadays, crop monitoring also includes protecting the crop against theft or damage caused by unplanned weather changes. Farmers can employ cost-effective and user-friendly technological solutions such as highly dependable sensing equipment and their interaction with mobile networks to suit their monitoring needs. Farmers are more involved in many unproductive activities nowadays, such as defending the crop from human or animal intrusion, which may result in theft or harm to the crops that the farmers have grown over time
