1. IoT in Agriculture

2. Key Stages of Agriculture Development
• Stage 1: machinery use instead of manual labor
• Stage 2: all-round workflow mechanization, including storage and
processing
• Stage 3: common use of mineral fertilizers and chemical crop
protection agents, soil parameter change, selection
• Stage 4: genetic engineering
• Stage 5: precision agriculture

3. Why Apply IoT in Agriculture?
- 3 -
• Saving fertilizers and chemical crop protection agents
• Boosting soil fertility due to “smart” correction
• Controlling crop state and preventing its loss when stored
• Increasing machinery efficiency
• Monitoring state and location of farm animals
• Tracking processing line equipment condition

4. Special Aspects to Consider for
IoT in Agriculture
- 4 -
• Outdated technologies
• Economics of agricultural enterprises is closely associated with living
organisms, their growth and development processes, which cannot be
controlled at all times
• Dependence on external factors (climate, weather, etc.)
• Seasonality

5. IoT Application in Agriculture
- 5 -
• Thrusters and autopilots for agriculture machinery
• Irrigation systems considering soil state and its peculiarities
• Precise fertilizing systems
• Pest and disease control systems
• Crop storage systems
• Processing lines

6. Example: Crop Condition Monitoring and
Forecasting System
