University Name: Improving Yields in Crops - IoT Applications

This report examines the role of the Internet of Things (IoT) in improving crop yields. It highlights how IoT enables the connection of real-world objects, providing new methods for data acquisition and analysis, and offers a literature review. The report discusses how IoT, through sensor networks, facilitates seamless communication between farms and the environment, irrespective of geographical boundaries. Furthermore, it explores how IoT supports various aspects of agriculture, including machinery selection, crop growth monitoring, and harvesting, integrating factors like weather forecasts and market demands into decision-making processes. The report cites research by Shenoy and Pingle (2016) and Popović et al. (2017) to support its claims, showcasing the potential of IoT to revolutionize agricultural practices and enhance productivity.

IoT and improving yields in crops:
The following literature review is conducted to discuss latest concepts in IoT. Here the
methods to improve yields in crops are demonstrated.
The IoT or Internet of Things is the concept to get real-world objects interconnected with
others. This alters methods in which users obtain, organize and consume data radically. Shenoy and
Pingle (2016) shows that in the domain of digital agriculture, IoT or Internet of Things enables
applications like selection and monitoring of crop growth, decision support of irrigation among
various applications. Sensor networks help farm to get connected to IoT. This helps in developing
seamless situation among crops and farmers irrespective of geographical boundaries.
Further, Popović et al. (2017) discusses that IoT enables assessment of data and decision
making are every step of agriculture virtually. These include supporting machinery selection, seed
selection, crop growth, crop selection, harvesting and fertilization. Moreover, independent aspects
like weather forecast, warehousing facilities, market demand and various others are amalgamated in
decision making process.
