Recent studies reveal that adopting the Internet of Things (IoT) in agriculture improves efficiency and decreases costs, especially when partnered with big data and advanced analytics technologies. With the growing number of studies that utilized IoT-based technologies in rice farming, this study pursues two objectives: To perform a meta-analysis of developmental studies on IoT adoption in rice farming and identify the current applications of IoT in rice farming. As such, 49 papers were collected, examined, and synthesized. The findings revealed that most existing studies focused on the activities under the Growth Stage of rice farming, while limited studies were conducted for the Pre-Planting and Postproduction Stages. In addition, recent research on rice farming used IoT mainly in rice field management, smart irrigation, and disease detection. Furthermore, the technologies introduced in existing studies mostly used sensor/actuator networks or artificial intelligence models. However, there are several unexplored areas in this research domain: Firstly, six rice production activities remained unexplored, and secondly, seven enabling technologies are yet to be used in rice farming. Regardless, IoT-based solutions are undeniably helpful in rice farming, especially in achieving sustainability and food security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
