ABSTRACT
In India, agriculture employs nearly two-thirds of the workforce. The largest economic sector in India has always been agriculture. Since the country's independence, agricultural productivity has increased by cultivating more land, expanding irrigation systems, using better seeds and techniques, managing water resources, and protecting plants. A farmer's responsibilities go beyond cultivating and harvesting crops. To achieve good results, the farmer must be diligent in watering the fields at regular intervals. There should be a smart system to measure the many weather parameters in the field and the soil moisture level in the field to prevent the field from drying up due to lack of water and to inform the field owner of the local weather. It provides a quick and efficient way to water crops whenever the soil moisture level drops. This system should be completely automated. It is anticipated that internet of things (IoT) technology will have a substantial impact on increasing agricultural productivity to meet the demand for food. Smart agriculture uses IoT-based cutting-edge technology and solutions to increase operational effectiveness, maximize production, and reduce waste through the deployment of control mechanisms and the real-time data gathering, analysis, and deployment from the field. Among the IoT-based applications that will help improve agricultural operations are variable rate technology, precision farming, smart irrigation, and smart greenhouses. IoT can improve the quality and quantity of agricultural data while also addressing agricultural challenges.
