Literature Review:
IoT for saving water:
According to the author TongKe (2013), the IoT can be used for analysing the
moistness of the territory which can determine the timings of water supply accurately. It can
help to save water.
IoT based Smart Irrigation in Farming:
According to the author Gondchawar and Kawitkar (2016), the smart irrigation can be
used for enabling the weather based watering system. It helps to decrease the chances of
over-watering.
IoT based Crop Monitoring System:
According to the author Lee, Hwang and Yoe (2013), the IoT based applications can
be used for monitoring the crop growth. This system uses thermal imaging technique to
accurately determine the growth rate of the crops.
IoT based Weather Monitoring system in Farming:
As per the author Fang et al., (2014), the weather monitoring system is very much
useful for farming. It can forecast the weather of a particular area which can help the farmers
to take necessary actions.
IoT based Precision Agriculture:
According to the author Ye et al., (2013), the IoT can help the framers for precision
agriculture by determining accurate position and weather for a particular type of crop. This
technique uses remote sensing, geographical information system and geosynchronous
positioning system.

IoT based Soil Quality Control Monitoring:
The authors of this article Zhou et al., (2013) elaborated that the IoT based soil quality
control check has a huge impact on the farming. It helps by monitoring the pH level of the
soil and many more other parameters of the soil.
IoT based Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System for farming:
According to the author Ojha, Misra and Raghuwanshi (2015), IoT based Greenhouse
gas monitoring system can help the farmers to control the greenhouse gas for enhancing the
growth of the vegetable.
IoT based Crop Harvesting Methods for farming:
As per the author Oksanen, Linkolehto and Seilonen (2016) IoT based system devices
can help the farmers to harvest the crop effectively so that most of the things can be
harvested.
IoT based Smart Pest Control for farming:
According to the author Ray (2017), the pest is a big problem for the farming. To
mitigate this problem IoT based smart pest controlling mechanism can be used. This type of
pest controlling trap uses a pheromone to lure a specific type of pests. The total count of the
pest is captured by the smart device for tracking purpose.
IoT based Smart Warehouses for farming:
According to the author Qu et al., (2016), smart warehousing system can help the
farming system by storing the capacity information of the warehouse. In this case, RFID tags
can be used to accessing the data of harvested crop locations and the condition of the crops.
