Intelligent Greenhouse cultivation empowered in IoT ecosystem

The Internet of Things (IOT) is a network of physical objects that are embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity for collecting and exchanging the data. IOT in agriculture helps in monitoring the soil moistures and temperature, controls the irrigation and usage of water, pesticides and fertilizers. The greenhouse planting hires only the migrant users due to lack of effectiveness in technology and by facing the difficulties in controlling the quality. Thus integrating IOT in greenhouse farming helps in monitoring the pesticides and storage facilities, tracking the required products of farm and also prevents the farmers from illegal logging. It becomes more effective by reducing the cost of production, connecting the greenhouses, stabling and monitoring the livestock. This paper furnishes the comprehensive analysis on smart agriculture and greenhouse farming using the current trends of IoT. It discusses the several distinct types of sensors for monitoring the consumption of power, energy and water. It also aims in assisting the researchers and helps farmers to accumulate the knowledge of the innovative IOT technology in the smart greenhouse cultivation.
