AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS LEVERAGING IOT AND SMART SENSORS: AN EXPLANATORY STUDY

Abstract

The incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent sensors in agriculture is transforming 
conventional farming methods by offering instantaneous data and automated solutions. These 
technologies provide accurate monitoring of environmental conditions, crop vitality, and resource 
utilization, resulting in enhanced efficiency and sustainable farming practices. Through the utilization 
of IoT technology and intelligent sensors, farmers have the ability to maximize irrigation efficiency, 
minimize resource wastage, and improve agricultural productivity. This investigation’s chief goal is to 
probe the utilization of IoT and intelligent sensors in agricultural applications. This study utilized 
qualitative research approach. This novel strategy tackles the increasing worldwide need for food while 
advocating for ecologically sustainable methods. Ultimately, the utilization of IoT and intelligent 
sensors in agriculture possesses significant capacity for revolutionizing the sector. These technologies 
have notable advantages, such as enhanced efficiency, increased yields, and diminished environmental 
impact. Nevertheless, additional investigation and advancement are required to surmount obstacles 
associated with expense, expandability, and compatibility. As these technologies advance, they hold the 
potential to be essential in establishing sustainable and efficient agriculture practices globally.
