Abstract

Agriculture is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most important professions in the world. Optimization of agriculture and aiming gradually and extensively toward smart agriculture are the need of the hour. IOT (Internet of Things) technology has already been successful in easing people’s lives with its wide range of applications in almost all arenas. In this paper, our work takes the help of IOT devices, wireless sensor network (WSN) and AI techniques and combines them for faster and effective recommendation of suitable crops to farmers based on a list of factors such as temperature, annual precipitation, total available land size, past crop grown history and other resources. Additionally, detection of unwanted plants on crops, namely weed detection, is implemented with frame-capturing drone and deep learning methods. Naïve Bayes algorithm for crop recommendation based on several factors detected by WSN sensor nodes has been used, resulting in an accuracy of 89.29%, which has proved to be better than several other discussed algorithms in the paper, like regression or support vector machine. Deep learning using neural network successfully identifies weeds present in a specific area of crop growth extending an additional protective measure to farmers.
