Use cases of IoT in smart agriculture

IoT can be implemented in various ways in the smart agriculture domain. These include the following:

  • Soil/crop health monitoring:
    • Measuring temperature, moisture, pH values, and lighting conditions in real time
    • Determining chemical (fertilizer) composition
    • Wind speed/direction sensing
    • Frost detection/avoidance
    • Pest control
    • Climate monitoring and forecasting
    • Comparing crop growth, leaf size, and crop pigmentation with similar crops and conditions
    • Preventing soil degradation
  • Enhancing agricultural yield:
    • Predicting the optimum time to plant, irrigate, and harvest crops
    • Predictive maintenance of farm equipment
    • Reducing paperwork while making insurance claims (e.g., crop/livestock damage)
    • Farm asset monitoring
    • Automatic irrigation
    • Aligning irrigation cycles with predicted weather conditions
    • Reducing crop damage via a disease or adverse environmental condition by leveraging predictive analytics
    • Evaluating and neutralizing the effects of the previous season...
