IOT has many applications in agriculture such as crop water management using soil moisture sensors, pest management using motion detecting PIR sensors, precision farming using sensors and drones, and livestock monitoring using sensors on wearables that track temperature, activity, and health indicators. IOT helps optimize resources like water, increase yields, and monitor livestock health remotely. However, challenges include infrastructure and connectivity issues, costs, and difficulties in implementation and data analysis for some farmers. Overall, IOT solutions have potential to increase agricultural sustainability and competitiveness.

3. WHAT IS IOT?
IOT – Internet of Things
The internet of things is inter- networking
of physical devices. This system has ability
to transfer data over a network without
requiring human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction

6. INTERNET REVOLUTION

7. IOT has many applications in agriculture, smart cities,
smart home, healthcare, business sectors, traffic
monitoring, transport and logistics etc
This is a growing mega trend that will influence
everything from business to our daily personal lives.
Here we are mainly focussing on agriculture as it
plays a vital role in development of our country’s
economy.
WHY IOT ?

8. Today, India ranks 2nd in the world in farm output
64% of cultivated land dependent on monsoons.
Irrigation accounts for 55-75 % of water usage in
india
Nearly 60% of the water in irrigation is wasted
We conserve water by using soil moisture sensors.
IOT IN AGRICULTURE

9. WHY APPLY IOT IN AGRICULTURE ?
saving fertilizers and chemical crop protection agents
Boosting soil fertility due to “smart” correction
Controlling crop state and preventing its loss when
stored
Increasing machinery efficiency
Monitoring state and location of farm animals
Tracking processing line equipment condition.

11. CROP WATER MANAGEMENT
•Usually the farmer pumps the water more or
less to cultivate the land
•This may result in wastage of water or
insufficiency to the crops.
•Sends an alternative message to the farmer
when the moisture level increases or decreases

13. • A sensor that will sense the moisture level in the land called SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR

14. PEST MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL WORKS
• Often farmers hard work are destroyed by predators that
results in huge loss to farmers
• To prevent such situation AGRICULTURE INTERNET OF
THINGS has a system that detects the motion of predators
using PIR sensors
• This information can be used by the faremers to reduce
damage done by predators

15. PASSIVE INFRARED SENSOR
• A PIR based motion detector is used to sense movement of
people, animals or other objects

16. ARDUINO
• Both SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR and PIR SENSOR are connected to the
arduino to perform an action
• Arduino will send the data to the data base using ethernet shield and if
emergency it also send message to the user by using a device called
GSM module.

17. • ADVANTAGES:
Cost effective method
Optimize water use
Sustain high yielding
High quality crop production
• DISADVANTAGES:
Need for each soil type is calibrated

19. CONSTRAINTS FOR IMPLEMENTING
IOT IN INDIAN AGRICULTURAL
SCENARIO
• Small, dispersed land holdings
• Complexity, scalability and affordability of the
technologies
• Privacy and security concerns
• Internet connectivity and availability

20. •Lack awareness of IOT devices and
systems
•Lack of investment and venture capital
funds
•Environmental impacts
•Influences human moral decision making

21. • Awareness creation activities
• Skill trainings on use of sensors, analysis of data and
decision making
• Introduction of innovations
ROLE OF EXTENSION PERSONNEL IN IOT FARMING

22. • It is an approach to farm management that uses
information technology to ensure that the crops and
soils receive exactly what they need for optimum
health and productivity.
• The goal is to attain profitability, sustainability and
protection of the environment.
• Equipments used:
• SENSORS, DRONES
PRECISION FARMING

23. APPLICATION OF I.O.T. IN SMART
GREENHOUSE

24. HOW I.O.T. WORK IN GREEN HOUSE

25. BENEFIT OF I.O.T. IN GREENHOUSE
• Use of sensors in green house help to get optimum production from the greenhouse
through the data analysis.
• The use of I.O.T. help to leads automation in green house, which will reduce labor cost
and energy cost.
• Plant condition and Disease monitoring with help of Drones in greenhouse will update
through remote sensing and visual images collected by IOT devises.
• Maintain the required atmosphere, humidity fluctuation, heater fan, equipment and
power failure with IOT sensors.

27. IOT IN LIVESTOCK

28. IOT devices, especially in the form of wearables, have long been used to
track human activity. Now, they're used to monitor cows. Here's how
sensors and software are collecting data for farmers.

33. INSTALL THE COW ROUTER
• Easy to install Cow router is completely solar
powered and can be installed by anyone in
just 20 minutes. It connects with all Cowlars
within a 2 mile range and uses cellular
connectivity to pass this information to our
servers. We make sense of the data using
machine learning & dairy science based on
each cows individual breed. No maintenance
is required. Say good bye to wires,
technicians and stress. You can monitor your
cows anytime, anywhere. The cow router is
free of cost for 20 cowlar orders.

34. STRAP THE COWLARS
• Tie the cowlar on the cow’s neck. The
Cowlar simply consists of a strap
designed to comfortably fit around
your cow and a small magic box that
measure temperature, activity and
cow behaviour, i.e. whether it’s eating,
sleeping, ruminating or showing
lameness. This data is crucial to
monitor your cow in a bid to prevent
diseases, detect heat cycles and
increase milk yield.

35. MONITOR YOUR COWS
• The installation process is extremely
easy and takes just a few minutes. As
soon as that is done, Cowlars will start
transmitting live data to your interactive
dashboard. The dashboard shows your
cow’s temperature & activity readings
over time through immersing graphs
along with easy to understand insights
and actionable recommendations that
can be converted into tasks, for your
ease.

36. GET ALERTS &
ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIO
NS • The data sent by your cows undergoes our
complex, machine learning based algorithms
where data gets combined with expert
knowledge base and years of experience to
bring you the best actionable
recommendations. You’re prompted every
time there is a health alert or your cow shows
any disease symptoms or enters into heat or
pregnancy. A healthy and happy cow
significantly increases your dairy profit

47. CONCLUSION
• Helps farmers to collect meaningful data
• Large land owners and marginal farmers
should adopted the IOT technologies to
increase competitiveness and sustainability in
their production.
• With population growing rapidly, the demand
can be successfully met by implementing all
these agricultural IOT solutions in
prosperous manner
