IoT-Agri: IoT-based Environment Control and Monitoring System for Agriculture

Problems in the agricultural sector are common, such as crop failures, soil damage, and pest attacks. Moreover, if the harvest quality and quantity are not good, losses are clearly inevitable for the farmers. Internet of Things (IoT), which is built from several components consisting of sensors, applications, network elements, and other electronic devices, is the most productive and important methodology for these problems. The Internet of Things (IoT) allows creativity and strategies to be formulated to solve problems in the agricultural sector. IoT-Agri is developed to help farmers in monitoring data on soil, water, and the environment. Soil data includes pH, humidity, and temperature. The water data includes pH, salinity, and water capacity in the reservoir. Environmental data includes temperature, humidity, and sunlight intensity. The IoT-Agri device fulfills the need in monitoring soil, water, and environmental data, as well as controlling the flow of water and fertilizer mixtures to crops on agricultural land. Furthermore, this research intends to aim that IoT-Agri creates effective and efficient agriculture to achieve smart and precise agriculture.
