ABSTRACT
Today's agribusiness is more information-focused, more adaptive to technology, and more evolving than ever. The rapid revolution in IoT-based innovations is changing the agriculture sector and moving agribusiness from factual to quantitative methodologies. Such progressive changes are creating new challenges and opportunities in agriculture. This article features the capabilities of smart agriculture using IoT and wireless sensors. For example, it discusses how the primitive farm practices are changing by integrating and implementing sensor applications. Major agriculture applications using wireless sensors, information communication technologies, and IoT are analyzed in detail. The sensors which are used in various agriculture operations like irrigation, land preparation, land protection, weed management, nutrition management, planting, harvesting, etc are listed. Also, the advancements in farm management with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles and remote sensing to determine the area under cultivation, to determine the relative health of agriculture fields, to estimate agriculture yield, and to strategize plantation and irrigation design and watershed management are discussed in detail.
