Abstract

Using GPS and IoT technology, precision agriculture is changing crop management and providing formerly unheard-of control and efficiency in agricultural operations. This method allows exact control of agricultural conditions, therefore optimizing productivity and resource economy .Current approaches abound in constraints such as inadequate real-time data, too large human expenditures, and inefficient resource allocation. Conventional approaches could lack the flexibility and precision needed to properly meet the changing requirements of contemporary agriculture.By use of sophisticated sensor networks, data analytics, and real-time connectivity, the proposed Precision Agriculture using Internet of Things (PA-IoT) system overcomes these limitations By means of meticulous environmental factor, crop health, and soil conditions analysis, PA-IoT systems provide fast interventions and exact resource management. By facilitating data-driven decision-making, improved yield forecast accuracy, and focused resource application, PA-IoT reduces waste thereby enhancing agricultural management. By utilizing IoT devices for constant monitoring and management, this approach maximize the general agricultural operation. Results show that even while operating costs are being lowered, PA-IoT may greatly raise agricultural output and sustainability. Combining IoT with GPS will help farmers to accomplish more accurate and effective crop management, thus improving results and resource economy.
