Abstract: The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture has transformed conventional farming by enabling real-time monitoring, data-driven decision-making, and automation. This research explores the implementation of IoT-based smart agriculture systems aimed at enhancing productivity, optimizing resource utilization, and addressing critical challenges such as water management, soil health monitoring, and crop protection. By utilizing sensors, wireless communication, and cloud computing, these systems offer farmers valuable insights into environmental conditions, facilitating precision farming techniques that enhance yield quality and efficiency.
This paper delves into the architecture of IoT-enabled smart agriculture, emphasizing essential components such as soil moisture sensors, water level sensors, and automated irrigation systems. Additionally, it analyzes the benefits and challenges of adopting IoT in agriculture, including cost considerations, technical barriers, and the necessity for user-friendly solutions tailored to farmers. The study concludes by identifying emerging trends in IoT-driven agriculture and highlighting its potential to promote sustainable farming through advanced technological integration.
Keywords: Automated Irrigation Systems, Environmental Monitoring, IoT in Agriculture, Precision Agriculture, Smart Farming, Sustainable Farming.
