Use of IOT-Based Agriculture Equipment in India

Abstract

One of the world's top producers of agricultural goods in India. Yet, India's agriculture industry still relies heavily on outdated practices and lacks contemporary technologies. In India, the use of IoT-based agriculture equipment has become more popular in recent years. India's farming practices could undergo a transformation thanks to this technology, which will increase productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. Devices that can be connected to the internet and offer real-time data on many aspects of farming, such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop development, are included in IoT-based agriculture equipment. This information can be used to determine how best to use resources like water, fertilizer, and pesticides. Farmers can use IoT-based technology to forecast weather trends and choose the best time to grow and harvest crops. Farmers' productivity can be increased and their reliance on manual labor can be decreased by using IoT-based agricultural equipment. IoT-based irrigation systems, for instance, can be designed to autonomously irrigate crops, doing away with the need for physical work. Similarly to this, IoT-based pest management systems can recognize and stop insect infestations before they seriously harm crops. Notwithstanding the potential advantages of IoT-based farm equipment, its uptake in India is currently constrained by a number of issues, including high costs, a lack of knowledge, and inadequate infrastructure. Nonetheless, it is anticipated that the adoption of IoT-based agriculture equipment would continue to increase in India over the future years due to the growing desire for sustainable and effective farming methods.
