Abstract:

Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of any country and enjoys the utmost position in providing l ivelihood to people and ensuring and harboring ecosystem sustainability, however, industrial ization and its subsequent effects demand the upg radation of the current farming system. In this regard, novel Information technologies and artificial intelligence provide the ultimate pathways for enhancing ag ricul tural yield. The Internet of Th ings (IoT) is the use of information technology and wireless communicators and sensors mounted on different objects that have the ability to communicate in real time. The f ield of IoT can manage crop g rowing environment, predict the soil need for fertilizers, identify plant diseases, and hel p in farm machinery automation thus minimizing labor-related challenges. By keeping the concept in mind, we present a detailed review related to IoT in farming systems w ith special emphasis on smart agriculture and cloud computing, sensors and communication platforms, and deep and transfer learning in disease recognition. Soil temperature and moisture prediction, meteorology events and the onset of pest attacks can solve crop loss challenges by alerting the farming community before the onset of such unfortunate events and before hitting the economic th reshold levels.
