Smart farming based on Internet of things

Nowadays, the Internet of Things Technology (IoT) has become one of the biggest aspects of agricultural development. Apart from this fact that IoT is a new concept in the agricultural industry, the benefits of this technology in the field of smart farming have been greatly taken into consideration. IoT technologies gives the farmer a reliable information about the seeds to plant, the amount of seed, the best planting and harvesting time, and the amount of product expected to be harvested. With the establishment of IoT, the farmer can use the sensors to determine soil moisture, predict weather conditions, plant growth, soil condition, pests or disease in plants, remotely and using smart phones. Also, using the moisture sensor and the information that the sensor sends about the moisture content of the soil and, given the amount of water required by the plant, it reduces the waste hedge and therefore optimizes the water. It also increases the yield of the product by online monitoring the plant's growth and the identification of pests and diseases. Appropriate information is available in graphical form or video format, and the necessary actions and decisions are made. Utilizing services that provide IoT technology to farmers, product performance increases and costs are dramatically reduced, while human interventions are also reduced using this technology.
