CONCLUSION

Internet of Things’ is far and wide castoff in relating

devices and gathering statistics. This agriculture
monitoring system serves as a reliable and efficient system
and corrective action can be taken. Wireless monitoring of
field reduces the human power and it also allows user to
see accurate changes in crop yield. It is cheaper in cost and
consumes less power. The smart agriculture system has
been designed and synthesized. The developed system is
more efficient and beneficial for farmers. It gives the
information about the temperature, humidity of the air in
agricultural field to the farmer. The application of such
system in the field can definitely help to advance the
harvest of the crops and global production. In future this
system can be improved by adding several modern
techniques like irrigation method, solar power source
usage.
