ENERGY EFFICIENT PRECISION AGRICULTURE TO CONSERVE WATER, ELIMINATE PESTS AND BOOST PRODUCTIVITY – A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE SURVEY
Abstract
In recent past, Precision Agriculture (PA) plays significant role in agriculture industry to
improve yield productivity by providing digital electronics based solutions. Although the observation
people could have regarding the farming and agriculture development, the certainty is that recent
agriculture field is smart and data-centered than ever. The fast emergence of Internet-of –Things (IoT)
support technologies gained almost all industry including ‘Precision Agriculture (PA) that shifted the
agriculture industry through numerical to quantitative methods. The digital electronics can provide
efficient and accurate solution in pest control and management, water resource management, efficient
data communication using wireless sensor network (WSN), renewable energy, agriculture data security,
intrusion detection, cloud storage using IoT, etc. PA helps to the society and environment come through
high targeted use of resources that minimize losses from overload applications and through minimization
of losses because of pest and insect harm, human error, water wastage, animal intrusion, imbalances in
nutrient, environmental pollution and soil deterioration, escapes of weed, etc. Other important
advantages include a minimization of pesticide due to classification of useful insect and harmful pest.
Nowadays, PA is a growing area that incorporating benefits of engineering and technological advances
in Computer Vision, Embedded systems, Machine Learning (ML) has permitted to organize a multiplicity
of agricultural movements. In this paper, literature review has done on different technologies applied in
PA. This literature review proves the requirement to focus on the devise of a suitable adoption
development and on novel features. Base on this entire literature review, it recognizes present and future
trends of IoT in farming and agriculture and emphasizes possible research and development disputes
