Farmers face many challenges such as Manual maintenance checks which checks the soil parameters manually adds a considerable burden on total operational cost. Inaccurate soil humidity data requires a high level of effort to check the soil humidity status of the entire farm manually. Water wastage: Lack of real-time soil humidity information leads to over- or under watering crops, which not only wastes water but also damages crops. Planting/cultivating timings is hard to know the optimum time to plant without the availability of soil data of the entire farm.
Many IoT vendors in the market offer IoT solutions coupled with affordable sensors that are capable of monitoring soil humidity/moisture levels and temperatures. Many sensors available can automatically report the ingested data to the internet without the need for additional WiFi, GSM, or any other kind of internet connectivity. This helps farmers in analyzing the best practices for their crops without spending their hard-earned money in inefficient manual checks. Farmers can make the best possible decisions for planting, watering, and pest control when the exact real-time data is being fed to them from their own crops.
IoT technology has the ability to send and receive data from everyday objects; the agriculture industry can benefit greatly by utilizing real-time connectivity. IoT will empower farmers to improve crop yields by 70 percent. Apart from weather forecasting and pest management, IoT has the potential to save up to 50 billion gallons of water per year. The sensors can assist farmers in optimizing water usage during irrigation processes. A holistic IoT adoption approach will transform the agriculture industry.
