Abstract:
Ever since the dawn of time, agriculture has been emphasized as having a significant impact on people's lives. Modern technology, which has enhanced the variety of technologies to raise the standard of living and streamline daily operations, is a tool that has been employed to create novel methods of life to meet human demands as the population grows. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the popular applications today, but it adds a new dimension to intelligent farming and agriculture by making it convenient to connect farms and agricultural bases that are conveniently located in rural or remote locations using sensors and actuators. Robotics and chemical technologies are not the only ones that may be used to improve and modernize people's lives. We suggest an IoT network architecture that comprises Wi-Fi-based long-distance networks that may be used for remote soil moisture monitoring in greenhouse tomato crops. The suggested approach was actually applied, proving the potential of developing IoT-based systems in the suggested location. The soil moisture based IoT prototype includes the sensing unit, connectivity, data processing, and data processing. The sensing unit, communication, data processing, and data processing have all been incorporated as a part of the soil moisture-based IoT prototype. According to the research, the suggested soil moisture monitoring technology evaluates soil moisture regulation in addition to showing real-time soil moisture data. It also reduces unnecessary water use, frees up farmers' valuable time, and improves farming systems compared to current farming systems.
