This paper presents the introduction of IoT and some of its applications in agriculture and also the technical challenges of developing IoT-based systems.The IoT depicts a technological world in which many objects are interconnected. An IoT-based object consists of main layers, including the perception layer, the network layer, and the application layer. The perception layer is used for data collection, the network layer for storing and analyzing information, and the application layer for sending a message to the operator and setting it up. Some of the technical challenges of IoT development are the limitations of the data gathering, saving data, networks, appropriate hardware for the agricultural area, and ensuring data integrity and security.The application of this technology in agriculture causes cost reduction, better management ,and increasing productivity. The IoT is developing rapidly. The high economic benefit of this technology is the main incentive for investors to invest in this field.
