Abstract

The agricultural industry must pay attention to the issues of population increase, climate change and natural resource destruction in a way that is responsive to food and environmental needs. Paying attention to the Internet of Things can be one of them. Internet of things means a set of objects that are connected through the network. These objects can be sensors monitoring environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light, soil moisture, soil acidity and carbon dioxide concentration, or types of agricultural equipment. In this article, the types of sensors and their capacity to intelligentize different aspects of agriculture (such as irrigation, nutrition, fertilization, disease diagnosis, monitoring and climate control) according to the facilities and capacities of the Internet of Things are introduced, so that they can be used to increase agricultural productivity, preserving resources and reduce human errors.
