Nazma Tara, Khondakar Shahid Hyder, Selina Sharmin . A Systematic Literature Review on IoT-based Irrigation. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 2 ( Mar 2022), 1-8. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022921998
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most demanding technologies throughout the world in recent times. At present the main technology behind the concept of smart home, smart vehicle, smart agriculture, etc. is the efficient use of IoT which is a ubiquitous technology of interconnected things capable of sensing, actuating, and communicating among themselves and with the environment. In traditional agriculture, a farmer has to depend only on human skills and experiences for production as there is no specific and arranged way to gather data from the field. However, this type of manual process does not ensure higher productivity and efficiency, and it is needed to modernize the agricultural system to increase production. IoT assists us to determine the appropriate necessity by analyzing the dynamic condition of the soil, weather, and plant, with a time reduction of manual monitoring. Though the practice of IoT-based irrigation and smart farming is at its inception, the world is rapidly moving towards the perfect implementation of smart farming. In this study, 56 papers are reviewed from 2015 to 2021, where IoT-based irrigation is the main concern. The objective is to abstract and accumulate the works regarding IoTbased irrigation. Based on the work, the issues regarding IoT-based irrigation, sensors, related technologies, wireless communication protocols, IoT platforms, and cloud computing will be analyzed to get a clear view and understand its future scope.
