1) The presentation discusses the use of IoT (Internet of Things) in agriculture, including how sensors can provide farmers real-time data on crop yields, weather, soil nutrition to improve techniques. 2) IoT applications presented include crop monitoring, weather monitoring, soil testing, farm machinery navigation using drones, robots, and sensors. 3) While IoT can save time, improve security and efficiency, barriers to adoption include lack of infrastructure, high costs, and issues around security and privacy.

4. Once in our life we need a doctor, a
lawyer, a policeman and a preacher,
But in our life three times a day,
We need a farmer.

5.  Using IOT as well as GSM, a whole new concept of
farming using networks is introduced reducing labour,
updating farmers about the live conditions of farm on the
mobile devices and presenting its graphical values.
 It makes the process handy with the click of a button.

6. 1. How the IoT is being used in agriculture sector.
2. Future of IoT in India.

7.  The Internet of things (IoT) is the most efficient and
important techniques for development of solutions to the
problems.
 IoT evolve from different building blocks which includes
lots of sensors, software’s, network components, drones,
robots, precision farming and other electronic devices.

9.  IoT sensors are capable of providing farmers with
information about crop yields, rainfall, pest infestation,
and soil nutrition are invaluable to production and offer
precise data which can be used to improve farming
techniques over time.
 Internet of things, with its real-time, accurate and shared
characteristics, will bring great changes to the
agricultural supply chain.

15.  Lack of Infrastructure – Even though the farmers
embrace IoT technology, due to weak communication
infrastructure they would not be able to take advantage
of this technology.
 High Cost – In agriculture the equipment required to
implement the IoT program is costly. Sensors are the
least expensive part, but it would cost a big amount to
equip all the farmers ‘fields to be with them.

18. 1) Internet of Things will help to enhance smart farming. It
works in different domains of farming to improve time
efficiency, water management, crop monitoring, soil
management, control of insecticides and pesticides
working of farm machinery with sensors and use of
electronics etc.
2) At present the IoT based farming is in developing stage
as most of the farmers are not aware, only the
research institutes and the farmers who are connected
to them are aware.
