Development of a Low-Cost IoT Based Smart Agriculture Monitoring System Using Wireless Sensor Networks

The "Internet of Things" is a network of connected electronic gadgets. This system for monitoring agriculture is dependable and effective, and it allows for the implementation of corrective measures. Field monitoring through wireless technology increases crop productivity while using less human labor. It costs less money and uses less energy. The system for smart agriculture has been carefully created and assembled. The newly designed method is more effective and advantageous for farmers because it provides them with information on the temperature and humidity of the air in the agricultural field. The use of such a technology in the field can undoubtedly aid in accelerating agricultural harvest and global production. Future upgrades to this system could include the addition of numerous cutting edge techniques, such as solar energy consumption and irrigation methods. This technique can be improved to cover a wide region of land. Additionally, the system can be integrated to use sensors to assess the soil's quality and provide suitable crop recommendations. Successful link between the sensors and microcontroller allows for wireless communication between various nodes. All research and experimental tests prove that this project is a complete solution to field activities and irrigation. problems. Implementation of such a system in the field can definitely help to improve the yield of the crops and, overcome the problem.
