Precision Farming Based on IOT

In the recent times Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) [1] are used in making of decision making systems in which there is a need of good practical observation. Agriculture is one of the fields in which there is a huge need for decision making systems. Currently in the field of agriculture due to improper knowledge of the field conditions and without proper knowledge of prerequisites for a particular crop, farmers are not able to able to convert their hard work into better yields and profits [2]. And with the inefficient monitoring it leads to poor yields and loss of cost. Currently there is no particular solution to this problem other than some systems which have certain disadvantages like high cost, manual and onsite control, complex interface, hardware oriented, user and environment demanding, unpredictable quality and quantity etc. This paper proposes a system called Georletos (Farmer Helper), an advance monitoring system which is very easy to use and help in enhancing crop yield and productivity of field along with the awareness of farmers about the various parameters for a particular crop. The Georletos system makes use of WSNs along with the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) [3] which makes it possible for the farmer to get information about the field and crop conditions at any time and at any place. It provides an advantage of internet use which makes it possible to get the field and crop information at any place and give the farmers a comparison between standard data and on field data so that farmers can take an efficient decision which can improve the field productivity. The paper provides description about precision farming based on IoT approach which provides quality services to farmers.
