| Popis: | Internet of things (IoT) is a network in which all physical objects are connected to the internet through network devices or routers and exchange data. IoT allows objects to be controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure. It plays a major role in precision agriculture. Using the sensors we can monitor a specific crop and provide the inputs based on their needs. Sensors in fields measure the moisture content and temperature of the soil and surrounding air. Satellites and robotic drones provide farmers with real-time images of individual plants. Information from those images can be processed and integrated with sensor and other data to yield guidance for immediate and future decisions. Precision agriculture is also called site-specific crop management. The goal of precision agriculture is to ensure profitability, sustainability and protection of the environment. This study provides useful information about the IoT sensors and precision agriculture and how it will be useful to farmers to increase their production. |
