An Internet of Things (IoT) Architecture for Smart Agriculture

Agriculture is one major and important sector for the growth of economy for any country. As per the current scenarios, various problems are present in agriculture like techniques which are used currently are not efficient, requirement of larger manpower and appropriate time for irrigation and spreading of fertilizer to yield. Internet of Things (IoT) is latest technology for smart farming to enhance efficiency, productivity and resolve various issues present in agriculture. IoT network consist of various sensor node which is used to monitor soil acidity level, temperature, and other variables. In this paper, the steps involved for agriculture are discussed and mainly focus on use of IoT in agriculture i.e. in proposed architecture which leads to growth of agriculture exponentially and the economy.
