Keywords : IoT; Smart agriculture; sensors Abstract :IoT have been put into practice widely. Agriculture is vital part of economy. Typical farming decisions are based on best practices, optimized only through the trial and error of previous generations, and they typically haven’t been adjusted for in real time. Thus the idea of embedding crop growth models (CGMs) into the IOT application system would make the agriculture system more intelligent and adaptive. We can gather real-time data based on conditions that exist, using wireless technology such as sensors, so that farmers can take actions quickly. They can make well founded decisions for their crops based on weather conditions, moisture and humidity, chemical compositions of the soil. Each species of diseases and pests is considered to be harmful to plants and has a great adverse effect on agriculture. In addition to decreasing crop productivity and quality, pesticides or fungicides which cause environmental pollution are needed to kill diseases and pests. Hence, the use of IoT system to reduce the frequent uses of insecticides and fungicides and to predict when the pests appear in order to lower the appearance of pests. In other words, we propose a system that provides disease and pest prediction information so that farmers can quickly control them.
