Intelligent agriculture greenhouse environment monitoring system based
on IOT technology. In Intelligent Transportation, Big Data and Smart City
(ICITBS), 2015 International Conference on (pp. 487-490). IEEE.
In recent years the IoT based system has attracted various sectors, and agriculture is
one of them. In agriculture, this system is used for monitoring the greenhouse environment.
In this selected article the authors have demonstrated the system which they have used for the
greenhouse environment monitoring. The core component of this system is the CC2530 chip,
and the whole system is based on the ZigBee technology. In this system, the control nodes
and the wireless sensors take the CC2530F256 chip as the core which has control over the
environmental data. This IoT based system for monitoring the greenhouse environment is
capable of front-end data acquisition, data transmission, data processing and the data
reception. The gathered data by this device is pushed to the computer through the serial port.
While the data is pushed to the computer staffs can process this data and can view real-time
data for controlling other things such as fans, temperature and the amount of greenhouse gas.

In this paper, the author has stated that IoT has gained importance in the present
situation because of its varieties of application. The IoT has gained this much amount of
importance because of its smart and remote approach. These remote agricultures provides
smart agriculture in the farming. In this paper, the author has proposed a remote sensing
system for greenhouse agriculture. The main planning of the authors is controlling the soil
moisture, sunlight, temperature and the carbon-di-oxide. In this system according to the value
of the soil’s moisture the windows or the doors is controlled for adjusting the level of the
greenhouse gas. By using this system, the main objective of the authors is to increasing the
yield and providing more organic farming.

In this article, the main aim of the authors is to implementing modern technologies in
the current agriculture practices for better yield. This paper provides an idea about a smart
greenhouse model which will help the farmers to do the farm-related works automatically.
The greenhouse is an important factor in the agricultural process. By using this model
irrigation of the agricultural field is carried out by automatic drip irrigation which helps to
measure the moisture level of the soil that is important for maintaining the level of the
greenhouse gas. In this system, there is also a threshold for the moisture level of the soil
which helps to maintain the perfect amount of water that is required by the plants. To

maintain the level of the greenhouse gas properly, this system also uses the proper
wavelength of the sunlight, ultrasonic sensor, bee-hive boxes some minerals such as
phosphorus, nitrogen and the potassium. Together this becomes an ultimate IoT solution for
the smart greenhouse.

In this paper, the authors have described the application of the IoT and the WebGIS in
the farming sector for precision agriculture. The authors have chosen an ecology farm to
present the example of the new precision agriculture management system based on the

the precision agriculture management system. These four architectures are the agriculture
management system, IoT infrastructure platform, spatial information infrastructure platform
and the mobile client. The users of the precision agriculture management system will be able
to manage the production of the agriculture while the method of the module integration and
the open source software can assist to reduce the cost of development and increases the
efficiency of the system.

In this article, the authors have discussed the change in the climates and how it is
affecting the process of food production and agriculture. The authors have identified that in
this type of situations the Greenhouse horticulture is an efficient way of agriculture. This
process of the greenhouse horticulture can significantly reduce the negative effects due to the
climate changes. The main problem with the greenhouse horticulture is that it is very much
complex to manage, but the authors have also found the solution for it which is the IoT.
According to the authors when the capabilities of the IoT systems are integrated with the
Greenhouse horticulture, it provides a separate platform that helps to decide when to
irrigation and provides information about nutrients and moisture requirements. Thus the
system can help the farmers in the effective farming process using greenhouse horticulture.
