Abstract
Agriculture 4.0 focuses majorly on precision agriculture. Precision agriculture can be achieved in several ways such as refinement of cultivation practices, choices of crops, reduction of risk and volatility, water management, optimized use of pesticides, land/crop monitoring with minimal environmental impact. The best way to achieve precision agriculture through the Internet of Things-based devices in agriculture. The rapid developments on the Internet of Things-based devices have impacted every industry including “Agriculture.” This revolutionary change in agriculture is changing the present agricultural methods, and creating new opportunities, and challenges. The Internet of Things-based devices and communication techniques along with wireless sensors are analyzed in this chapter in detail. The specific sensors available for precision agricultural applications like the preparation of soil, checking the status of the crop, pest, and insect identification, and detection, irrigation, spraying of fertilizers are explained. The use of Internet of Things-based devices helps the farmers through the crop stages i.e., sowing to harvesting is explained. At last, this chapter concludes and provides the challenges faced while implementing Internet of Things-based devices in agriculture.
