A Literature Review on Monitoring and Control Strategies in Smart Agriculture Using IoT

Gone are the days when farmers must put up all their efforts with fewer resources and lack of knowledge. Nowadays, many extensive innovations have been made to improve the agricultural yield with the help of technology. But with the increasing world population rate, existing farming techniques, standard farming procedures, there is a need for technological sound solutions with the aim of sustainability as the farmers spent about 70% of farming time in monitoring and understanding the crop and farm related conditions instead of involving in the actual farming work (Navulur et al. in Int J Elect Comp Eng (IJECE) [1]). And to fulfill these needs, communication and sensor technologies using IoT offers proper technical solutions which provide a wireless monitoring system with the help of which the farmers can monitor and control happenings in their field. This study explains major applications of smart agriculture, main apparatus and tools and issues and challenges in smart agriculture and proposed an IoT-based agricultural system with better approach which can be useful in the future to study about the review on IoT-based smart agricultural systems.
