PRECISION AGRICULTURE USING LORA

Abstract

This paper deals with the advancements in the agricultural field using the latest technology LoRa. Agriculture is the most crucial sector of the Indian economy, which plays a decisive role in the socio-economic development of the country. The Indian sector of agriculture accounts about 18% of India’s gross domestic production (GDP) and employs half of the countries workforce. There are many issues related to agriculture, which always hampers the course of our advancement. Encouraging farmers to use modern techniques is one of the best solutions to tackle these problems. As they help in increasing agricultural yield and reduces the input cost. [1] This paper proposes solutions to measure humidity, soil moisture, and temperature with the help of sensors, LoRa, as well as Cloud technology. The data acquied from the sensors will be sent to the cloud database, which gives information to the end-user. It is a combination of LoRa and cloud computing. This idea promotes the fast development of agricultural improvement helps to realize an apt solution for agriculture and effectually solves the issues related to agriculture from a remote location.
