Description
This paper's objective is to evaluate the use of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system in the field of precision
agriculture. Because of bug infestations and a lack of tools to operate the farm efficiently, farmers experience
significant losses every year. The chosen article provides a summary of the IoT in smart farming equipment and
methodology that is advised. The goal of this analysis is to highlight and explain key hardware, cloud platforms,
communication standards, and data processing techniques. By updating every aspect, including crop field data and
application use, this evaluation emphasizes an updated technology for agricultural smart management. Agriculture
stakeholders may improve environmental protection and enhance food production in a way that will meet future
global demand by tailoring their technology spending decisions. The application of IoT in agriculture helps to
improve sensing and monitoring of production, including farm resource utilization, animal behavior, crop
development, and food processing, which is the final contribution of this research. Additionally, it gives a greater
grasp of the specific agricultural situations, including environmental and climatic factors, weed, pest, and disease
growth.
