Role of IoT in Transforming the Future of Agriculture

Internet of things (IoT) Applications in the Agriculture will play the import role to reduce the labour cost and increase the agricultural investors, prosperity of farmers, productivity and sustainability. Monitoring on real time of Agricultural system play a key role for reducing the cost of operation as well as input cost and enhance the rural labour efficiency in the farming system such as fish, livestock, and cattle farming. IoT technology based monitoring of Agricultural operation on real time may be incorporated in the crops, crops cultivation practices, crop health assessment, identification of presence of insect in the crops, grain storage practices, quality and climate monitoring during the transportation of grain from farmer to mandi, monitoring of farm labour and management system, quality control during the value added product production inside the Agricultural industry. Climate parameter such as temperature and humidity, chemical and fertilizer application inside greenhouse maybe monitored and control by IoT enabled transceiver. Temperature and humidity inside the storage structure and pest, disease and self-life of harvested grain may be monitored. Monitoring of Goat, pig and poultry farming for feeding, heath assessment, hygienic maintenance of farm, climate parameter, light condition, growth of cattle can be monitored from IoT monitoring gadget. Natural input resource like water, seeds, fertiliser can be saved significantly by accurate application during crops cultivations. New agricultural applications e.g. smart farming, precision farming and automation may be managed through IoT enabled devices to increase operational efficiency, lower the costs of operation, reduce waste, and improve the quality and quantity of yield. IoT in agriculture technologies comprise specialized equipment, wireless connectivity, web and mobile software and IT services
