Enhancing Crop Yields through IoT-Enabled Precision Agriculture

Agriculture has a significant impact on the development of agricultural nations. One-third of India's GDP, and over 70% of its population, are dependent on agriculture. The nation's development has frequently been impeded by agricultural problems. The only solution to this problem is smart agriculture, which modernises the traditional farming techniques now in use. The Internet of Things (IoT) has many advantages for smart agriculture. Smart farming is a newly emerging concept because to IoT devices that may supply information about agricultural areas. In agricultural fields, various IoT sensors can be utilised to track the important factors that determine productivity. Based on a machine learning model's analysis of the soil's NPK value, the paper seeks to suggest the best crops for the particular field. The entire handling is centred on gathering data for usage by farmers and other collaborators. Farmers in the agriculture industry and IoT devices are increasingly bridging the digital divide. Intelligent greenhouses, which can have hydroponic and micro aquaponic systems, are another application for the Internet of Things. Intelligent greenhouses are becoming more prevalent in cities as they allow for the tracking of many components of fertiliser solutions and enhance plant growth, productivity, and quality. Future food production that is more environmentally friendly will increase output, and the environment will be safeguarded by using water wisely and maximising inputs and treatments. Remote monitoring, decision-support tools, automatic irrigation systems, frost prevention, fertilising, and other methods are all part of smart agriculture. IoT technology, which consists of hardware, intelligent software, integration platforms, monitoring strategies, operating systems, and cloud computing, enables these procedures.
