Integration of IOT and Modern Technology in Agriculture: a Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
As the world progresses towards the modern era of science, a decrease in the death and disease rate has led to a tremendous increase in the population, which has stressed existing capabilities of resources, one of which is agricultural land and its production capacity. This phenomenon has highlighted the need for more efficient management methods to reduce stress on the field and effectively use the existing land resources. Modern agriculture has witnessed an integration of technology tools like IOT, GPS Monitoring, use of Robotics, Arduino and Drone usage into everyday operations like spraying, seeding, disease monitoring etc and the approach of Precision Farming. These technologies are helping to pave a way for a more efficient, time saving and labor saving farming style and can aid the aging farmer populations. This review aims at giving an insight summary into the modern world of agriculture and a description of the various technologies involved, hinting the way in which technology might show a potential to keep up with the need of the ever-growing global population and also discusses the scope of micro-algae cultivation through integration and implementation of IoT.
