2.3.6 Greenhouse Condition Monitoring
A related term with agriculture is Greenhouse that affects the former. Temperature
rise is attributed to the ozone layer depletion and this has direct effects on the crops.
2.3.7 Soil Monitoring
The crop quality directly depends on the soil. The knowledge of soil property is
crucial for agricultural paradigm. Measuring soil quality and constant measures of
the soil sent to the agriculturists is seen in 6LoWPAN and its benefits are quite
obvious.
2.3.8 Precision Agriculture by UAV
Drones and the UAVs have revolutionized the way technology has assisted mankind
and precision farming and smart agriculture is no exception. With the help of drones
and UAVs the agriculturists keep constant eye over the farms. This helps in diagnosing
diseases and weather and wind prediction. The farmer is able to take decisions based
on statistical tools that forecast the weather, rain, humidity and presence of pests and
other troublesome animals that may ruin the farm or cause damage.
2.3.9 Production Supply Chain Management
IoT has direct effect on supply chain management due to better quality of crops,
timely harvest and lesser losses incurred due to many reasons.
3 IoT Equipments
3.1 Existing IoT Products for Smart Farming
Next few paragraphs are devoted to highlight some recent progression in Smart
Farming.
• Network: In an ongoing study by Sinha, creators found that LoRa is the best
contender for savvy agribusiness applications [49]. The creators of Lukas structured a long-extend water level checking framework for troughs utilizing a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) dependent on LoRa handsets, enabling the cattleman
to watch water accessibility for domesticated animals notwithstanding when the
horse shelter was 1 or 3 km away. In an alternate application, proposed an IoT
structure to add to rustic advancement executing rural applications bolstered by
