Introduction
Agriculture and farming rely on new ideas or technological progress which helps to increase production and good allocate resources. In late 19th & 20th centuries
ought several mechanical innovations, for example harvesters and tractors (Shankaraswamy, 2017). Nowadays, the IoT is driving the drive to increase production of agricultural at a very lower prize, which opens the door for engineers who want to
ing smart agricultural solutions or IoT agricultural sensor to market.
Discuss the problems and advantages of deploying IoT technology in Floriculture and Horticulture.
In IoT-based smart agriculture, a system has been constructed that uses sensors (humidity, light, soil moisture, and temperature.) to monitor crop fields as well as automate i
igation systems. Farmers can monitor field conditions from anywhere. Compared with traditional methods, smart agriculture depend on the IoT is very efficient (Pritam Ray, 2020). The smart agriculture application is depend on the IoT is not only aimed at conventional large-scale agricultural activities, but can also become a new means of promoting other growth and common trends in agriculture, for example family farming and organic farming (complex and small spaces, especially cattle and/or Culture), preserve specific or high-quality varieties, etc.), as well as increase extremely transparent agriculture. In the erms of environmental problems, smart agriculture based on the Internet of Things can
ing huge advatages, including efficient use of water and optimization of treatment and inputs (Elia & Farina, 2011). Now, let us discuss the main applications of smart agriculture based on the IoT, which are revolutionizing agriculture.
Agriculture is an area where modern technology can be effectively applied. Although, for many people, the agricultural sector seems a bit old. In any case, the clever concept of agriculture is not science fiction, it’s a real method of working that can simplify and automates the agricultural process.
Advantages of IoT in agricultural secto
Let’s check out the major advantages of the IoT in farming.
Data collection
All data or information can be collected with the help of installed sensors. Data such as weather conditions, health of the cattle and crops. The information is stored in a one place; moreover farmers can simply check or analyze to make co
ect decision.
Decrease of Threats
After collecting the latest information of farmers, they can understand the future situation and can predict the possible problems (Shore et al., 2016). In addition, farmers can use information to get better their sales or change the business processes.
Business goes automated
Most of the business processes have become automated, moreover efficiency continues to increase. Therefore, farmers might pay attention to the other significant processes.
Higher quality
Smart agriculture can ignore challenges or eliminate all problems that might arise during cultivation process. As a result, product quality continues to improve, and consumers obtain high-quality products.
Disadvantages of the IoT base smart agriculture
· Agriculture is the natural phenomenon, mainly dependent on nature, or people predict and control nature is rain, drought and sunlight. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the IoT system agriculture.
· Smart agriculture requires continuous Internet availability. Rural areas in developing countries do not meet this requirement. In addition, the Internet speed is slow.
· Faulty sensors and data processing engines may lead to inco
ect decisions, which might result in excessive use of fertilizer, water and other waste of resources (Kuruba & Madhusudhan, 2019).
· Equipment based on smart agriculture requires farmers to know or learn the technology use. This is a major challenge for the continued adoption of a large-scale smart agriculture framework.
· It also has some problems; it must be properly tracked to make full use of it.
Discuss an Integrated Platform that would handle the Data from Agriculture Farm practicing Animal Husbandry, Honey Bees, Aquaculture and Dairy Farming. What are the challenges?
The misconception and lack of knowledge have always ba
ed in the growth of development in agriculture. Farmers have been feeding animals without any accurate knowledge of what to feed and how much to feed. The other factor which was never questioned before was what to feed to which
eed? The uncalculated and random steps followed by the farmers have ended many lives of cattle. The productivity has decreased, or the quality has been low because of lack of education in the scientific process like
eeding, vaccination, feeding etc (Shi et al., 2019). The farmers have not been maintaining the essential details like age,
eed, lactation and many others. The necessary information about earning and expenditures were not noticed.
The company developed IoT based animal husbandry software to overcome the issues bu
ling in the cattle management.
The software records every detail of the cattle and informs the farmers about the necessary process and needs. It helps in managing the feeding pattern according to the
eed (Shi et al., 2019). The data recorded are stored over the cloud so that farmers can get access to it at any time.
