ITC571 - Exploring IOT Applications in Agriculture for Efficiency

This report provides an overview of the Internet of Things (IOT) and its applications in agriculture, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize farming practices. It highlights the core concept of IOT as the inter-networking of physical devices capable of transferring data without human intervention, noting its wide-ranging applications across various sectors, with a specific focus on agriculture. The report details several key applications of IOT in agriculture, including crop water management, pest control, precision agriculture, and food safety. It explains how IOT-based systems can optimize water usage through soil moisture sensors, detect and deter pests using PIR sensors, and ultimately increase productivity and profitability for farmers. The study underscores the importance of IOT in promoting sustainable and efficient agricultural practices, especially in regions heavily reliant on monsoons and facing water scarcity issues.
