ABSTRACT

In the paper, we propose a system that measures various agricultural parameters that affect crop yield and monitors location information. According to an analysis by international organizations, 60% of the world's population lives on agriculture. In addition, 11% of the world's soil is used for growing crops. For this reason, agriculture plays an important role in national development. If a problem occurs in agriculture due to weather or environmental problems, it can be a problem for national development. In order to solve these problems, it is important to modernize agriculture using modern IoT technology. It is possible to improve the agricultural environment by applying IoT technology in agriculture to build a smart environment. Through such a smart environment, it is possible to increase the yield of agricultural products, reduce water waste, and prevent overuse of fertilizers. In order to verify the proposed system, an experiment was performed in a soybean cultivation farm. Experimental results showed that using the proposed system, the moisture in the cultivated soil can be automatically maintained at 40%.
